Kindness Volunteer

ou will support people living with our conditions to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation by providing a “light touch,” person centred, telephone call service once per week. An easy going and warm outlook would be advantageous to this role.

Everyone has the right to live life to the full. After a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or Long Covid, many people experience fear and isolation, and struggle with the impact on their lives. The care and support we deliver every day ensures everyone can live the life they want to. Across Scotland, we provide vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived strategy.
