  About this opportunity:	Support at Home volunteers transform the lives of individuals by supporting and empowering them to live the life they want and helping them to stay connected to their communities. You could be driving someone somewhere, taking them shopping, offering information on nutrition or just being there to improve their confidence and reduce their isolation. However you help, you could make a real difference to peoples’ lives.
