Volunteer with Coach Club

Love days out, meeting new people and helping others have a great day? We’d love to hear from you!

Age Cymru Powys is looking for friendly volunteers to join us on our new Coach Club adventures across Powys and beyond.

Coach Club provides free coach day trips for unpaid carers, giving carers the opportunity to enjoy a change of scenery, meet new people and have some time away from their usual routine.

What will I do?

As a Coach Club volunteer, you’ll help our team make sure everyone receives a warm welcome and the day runs smoothly.

You might:

• welcome people as they arrive and help with boarding the coach;
• help check everyone is present at pick-up points;
• chat with people and help create a friendly, sociable atmosphere;
• offer practical assistance during the day where appropriate;
• help people find their way around the destination or meeting points;
• support Age Cymru Powys staff with simple trip arrangements; and
• help make sure everyone is safely back on board for the journey home.

You won’t be expected to provide personal care or clinical support.

Do I need experience?

No previous experience is needed. We’re looking for people who are friendly, reliable, patient and enjoy spending time with others.

We’ll provide the information, guidance and training you need for the role.

How much time do I need to give?

There’s no regular weekly commitment. Coach Club volunteering is linked to individual day trips, so you can let us know which trips you’re available for and join us when you can.

Trips will normally involve a full day, including the coach journey.

What about expenses?

Your Coach Club day out is completely free when you volunteer with us.

We’ll also pay mileage at 55p per mile for your journey to and from the agreed coach pick-up point, so you’re not left out of pocket for helping us.

What will I get from volunteering?

As well as helping unpaid carers enjoy a well-earned day out, volunteering with Coach Club is a great opportunity to:

• enjoy free days out to different destinations;
• meet new people;
• be part of a friendly team;
• gain volunteering experience;
• make a real difference to unpaid carers in Powys; and
• volunteer flexibly without committing to the same day every week.

Interested?

We’d love to hear from you.
