Volunteer spec:
Volunteers need to be friendly, sociable and happy to chat and happy to listen – our older people love to chat! It’s really important for you to be reliable as the older people get more out of the projects when they have a rapport with the students. Most importantly, students need to have a sense of humour and enjoy the company of the older generation.
Training for volunteers in this Area will include:
• Health and Safety
• Building a friendship
• Listening and communication
• Pastimes and activity ideas
Projects available:
Pub Lunches
Project Co-ordinator: TBC
What: Aimed at older people who are unable to leave the house often or have difficulties getting to social activities. This project means that someone else can do all the work while the older people enjoy a nice meal in good company.
When and where: Volunteers will meet the minibus on campus and will be dropped off on campus at the end of the project. The lunches take place at a number of local pubs the project will go out weekly on Wednesday lunchtimes (11.30am to 2pm).
