Pickleball Helper with Older People

Could you help an Older Person combat loneliness and stay active all in one? Re-engage and Pickleball Scotland are looking for helpers for their new monthly Older People's Pickleball Group in East Kilbride.

You don't need to have ever played before, all you need is a heart to help your community and Older people. Pickleball for Wellbeing is a new formatted game that is accessible and suitable for everyone since it can be played seated or standing. The group is led by an accredited coach and your job as Helper is to to just that- help!
You will help welcome people into the group, maybe help set up the courts and help set up chairs. The group will also meet for a coffee or tea afterwards so we would ask you help with conversation and connecting with people.

This is a low commitment flexible opportunity and a chance to try a new sport if you have never tried before!
