Where can you volunteer?

  • In our care homes

    There’s lots to join in on at our care homes; you could sit

    and chat with residents, play games and do crafts, help take care of the gardens, or help out with day trips and events. Whatever you do, you will be making a difference to the lives of our residents.

  • At our reablement centre

    You could help guests with activities like jigsaw puzzles, baking and crafts to improve dexterity and support their physio exercises. Taking part in events like board game evenings, film nights, singing or just sitting and chatting with someone over a cup of tea. Your time is helping prepare guests for a return to everyday life.

  • In the community

    Our community volunteering gives you the opportunity to offer one to one support to someone living in our sheltered housing schemes. Each opportunity is tailored to the needs of the individual, and can include shopping, picking up medication, gardening, or going for a walk together. This role can also help provide much needed social interaction to someone who may live alone and be feeling isolated.
