Just 30 minutes of your time a week could make a massive difference to an older person's life. If you're empathetic and good at talking on the phone, you could be a Telephone Friendship Service volunteer.
Can you empathise and listen to older people, be warm and friendly providing time-sensitive information, and commit to at least 4 hours a week for at least a year? If so, you could play an important role as a volunteer on our Silver Line Helpline.
Can you help offer support over the phone to an older person to help them gain access to services and activities that could benefit them? If you can empower older people in this way, volunteering for our Connect and Support Service might be for you.
Could you help customers in our high street shops while raising funds for our vital services?
