About this opportunity
Could you help reduce the loneliness and social isolation of an older person by becoming a volunteer driver? LinkLiving need drivers to take people to and from their social cafe at Rosyth Parkgate Community Centre. The cafe offers older people the chance to meet others for a chat over a cuppa. They also offer quizzes and a range of other activities.
Your role would be the first point of contact with their members, getting to know them and building a positive relationship. This involves:
- collecting one of the members from their home and bringing them to the Community Centre for 10.30am
- taking them home at the end of the session, 12.30pm (stay or leave in between as you wish)
- talking to, and getting to know the members
- raising any concerns regarding members wellbeing with the Project Workers
- attending volunteer meetings and information sessions to help you with this role
- making sure your car is road worthy, taxed and properly insured.
The cafe takes place on both a Wednesday and Friday in Rosyth, you can apply to volunteer for both days or select a preferred day
