volunteers needed to support elderly people
Description
We are looking for a volunteers who want to support elderly people living in the community. This is a befriending role where you will be matched with one person. Activities will vary from going out with the person (going for walks and coffee, to the shops) to staying with the person at their home (chatting, watching movies together, reading, supporting people in gaining new life skills, etc)
We have a number of opportunities across different neighbourhoods in Edinburgh.
Elderly people who are supported by us may be lonely and frail, lack of confidence to go out on their own or may have cognitive impairment, dementia or visual impairment
For more information please get in touch with ilona szczupak
We will provide you with all relevant training and ongoing supervision and support so you don't need to have any experience of knowledge!
