About this opportunity

Royal Voluntary Service are looking for volunteers to support their Healthy and Happy Lives Groups, which are lunch and activity groups that run every Thursday in Cellardyke Church Hall. This role is about supporting and empowering older people to be independent and stay connected to their communities.

Volunteers transform the lives of people in their community, by helping them live as independently as they can, building community relationships and re-establishing their confidence and well-being. This could include helping to provide lunch and healthy snacks and social activities such as exercises to provide strength and mobility or taking part in crafts and hobbies with the older people.

If you'd like to have a positive effect on people in your community, this is the role for you
