Volunteer
Telephone Befrienders Urgently Required!
We urgently require volunteers to assist with our telephone befriending service. To find out more, contact admin@ageukrbh.org.uk.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and support the work we do in the community.
Who can volunteer?
The minimum age for volunteering is 18,and almost anyone can be a volunteer. We have a wide range of roles which suit different people and different skills. The most important criteria for being a volunteer is to be able to COMMIT your time, as this helps us to deliver our services efficiently.
How much time do I need to give?
It depends on the volunteer role you are interested in. Some people give an hour a week, other people do more.
While we are not immediately able to offer you other volunteering opportunities, we’re constantly developing and expanding our services to meet the evolving needs of older people in the area. This means we may be in need of additional volunteers in the weeks ahead. Please do check back for any new opportunities as they arise, and thank you so much for thinking of us.
Induction training is currently taking place on a monthly basis.
