We run a monthly three course meal for isolated older people with live entertainment. Volunteers are vital to the dinner as with out them it would not go ahead. They provide a variety of roles.
Duties include setting and clearing up, preparing and serving food, washing up, chatting to older people. Volunteers are normally needed from 10.30 - 3.30 once a month.
It is a great way to make a practical difference in a fun atmosphere. You may even find yourself dancing.
The difference meeting up with others makes to an older person living on their own.
Organised volunteers who will remain calm when things are busy.
