Current opportunities to volunteer in social care
Volunteers For Carers is a citywide project so you can choose to volunteer in your local community or in different parts of the city. Our volunteers take part in a wide variety of activities such as
- local walks
- visiting cafes
- shops
- cinema
- going on the bus
- having chat and a cup of tea.
We will work with you to find you the role that will suit you most.
Befriending roles
Volunteers are matched with the individual whom they support on a regular (yet still flexible) basis. Sessions may include support at person’ home as well as outings.
Flexible roles
Flexible volunteering does not require a regular commitment from you. You can volunteer at times which suit you. You can choose to support one person or a variety of different people. We have an online system that enables you to have a full control over your volunteering
Gardening roles
Gardeners’ volunteers help people to maintain they garden when they are no longer able to do so. Tasks may include things like
- lawn cutting
- pruning
- weeding
- planting plants and bulbs.
