Coffee Morning Volunteer
| We have three extra care supported living services for older people with additional needs in the Ashton-under-lyne area |
| We are looking for befriender volunteers who would like to spend time with our residents on a weekly basis.
Initially the befriender role will involve bringing together residents from across the three sites to the communal area and running a coffee morning. Here you will help to set up for the coffee morning, moving tables and chairs where necessary, prepare refreshments and provide companionship to the people attending, whilst understanding and respecting boundaries. Once you have built a connection there will be an opportunity to develop the role and spend time in the local community. This could include going for a walk, a trip to a local café, or accessing the local library.
As a volunteer with Creative Support we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly Volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer’s peer support group.
