Want to make a difference for older people living in Residential Care?

 

Knitting helps people who live in Residential Care homes to engage, enjoy life and exercise their minds.  Knitting has been proven to refuse stress and anxiety, improve cognitive function and brings a sense of calm to those who chose to click their needles.

 

Knitting Group Volunteers are involved in a range of tasks to support these activities, including:

  • Assisting with set up and pack down of the Activity Space
  • Sharing patterns and conversations
  • Use of wheelchairs to help residents get to and from activities

 

We want to hear from you 

 

Training

Upskilling opportunities exists for volunteer roles

 

Time commitment

We work with all volunteers to set up the most suitable days and times for you. Any amount of time you can give, whether it’s a few days a week or a few hours a month, is valuable for our community and much appreciated.
