Coffee and Chat Volunteer

• SISG

• VO95677

As SISG, we currently have 14 hearing hubs in Ayr, Prestwick, Troon, Girvan, Alloway, Largs, Arran, West Kilbride, Saltcoats, Kilwinning, Cumnock, Kilmaurs, Galston and Kilmarnock. We also support 27 battery pick up points across North, South and East Ayrshire libraries. We also carry out visits to over 2,000 older people with hearing and/or sight loss throughout North, South and East Ayrshire each year. We wouldn't be able to carry out all this work without the help and support of our volunteers.

If you would like to volunteer with us, we currently need peer support group volunteers to offer support and information to people struggling with hearing and/or sight loss in informal settings. Our volunteers meet in cafes and restaurants in Irvine, Troon and/or Ayr to share a cup of coffee and a scone whilst supporting and share learning experiences.

Even as little as 2 hours a month make a difference to our service users and help us run our support services. If you have any queries, please get in contact and we will do our best to support you with your volunteering journey.

Full training will be given by professionals.
