- VO100185
This role is about supporting and empowering older people to be independent and stay connected to their communities.
Volunteers transform the lives of people in their community, by helping them live as independently as they can, building community relationships and re-establishing their confidence and well-being.
This could include helping to provide lunch and healthy snacks and social activities such as exercises to provide strength and mobility or taking part in crafts and hobbies with the older person.
Experience required
The volunteer will need to have a friendly personality and good communication skills, with a non-judgmental attitude towards an individual’s circumstances and a willingness to ensure confidentiality.
They will receive relevant training for the role and will be welcomed and supported by a friendly, local team.
