Volunteering Matters
- VO75140
Volunteering Matters is a national volunteering charity. We are looking for volunteers to join our Handyperson project which runs across Stirlingshire and Clackmannanshire.
Our team of volunteers help older people, or people with disabilities, with small and minor maintenance tasks in their own homes. The types of tasks that volunteers complete normally take 1 hour or less. Examples include putting up shelves, building small bits of flatpack furniture, changing lightbulbs, rewiring plugs, replacing smoke alarm batteries, and hanging mirrors, curtains, or blinds.
It can be challenging to find a tradesperson willing to do such minor tasks. It can also be difficult or even dangerous for some people to do these tasks by themselves – particularly if they are older, frail, or have a disability. So the support that our volunteers provide is invaluable.
Volunteering hours are completely flexible, and we will work around the volunteer and what spare time they have. You can volunteer as little, or as much as you like. Full training, support, and travel costs are provided.
Volunteers are normally aged 50+ however this is not essential.
