Volunteer in social care

Volunteers For Carers is a citywide project so you can choose to volunteer in your local community or in different parts of the city. Our volunteers take part in a wide variety of activities such as

• local walks
• visiting cafes
• shops
• cinema
• going on the bus
•  having chat and a cup of tea.

We will work with you to find you the role that will suit you most. 

Befriending roles

Volunteers are matched with the individual whom they support on a regular (yet still flexible) basis. Sessions may include support at person’ home as well as outings.

Flexible roles

Flexible volunteering does not require a regular commitment from you. You can volunteer at times which suit you. You can choose to support one person or a variety of different people. We have an online system that enables you to have a full control over your volunteering

Gardening roles

Gardeners’ volunteers help people to maintain they garden when they are no longer able to do so. Tasks may include things like

• lawn cutting
• pruning
• weeding
• planting plants and bulbs. 

Contact us for more information. We will be delighted to chat with you and tell you more about volunteering opportunities we have.
