5 months ago
Would you like to be involved in helping older men live at home in the community for longer?
Volunteers have many skills and experiences that can help to boost the social and mental well-being of our clients, as well as helping them to practice activities of daily living. These social, mental and physical benefits are all part of being involved in the Men’s Group. With support from volunteers and our team at the Community Respite Cottage our clients are able to continue to live happy and healthy lives at home for longer.
This role may include:
- Running a men's coffee club alongside a weekly activity, for example the activity could be a once off woodwork piece or ongoing gardening project
- Chatting and providing our male clients with companionship to support their social and mental well-being
- Supporting staff and clients on day trips within the local community
