Volunteer

Would you like to help older people in Somerset and North Somerset?

Our normal requests for volunteers are on hold for now.  At this time we are working with other community organisations to ensure that every part of our area is able to offer support to the older people in their communities.  

Volunteering

We have been receiving a number of calls from people asking to volunteer with us during this time. As completing the volunteer application and training process for us can take several weeks we are suggesting that instead you consider:

Registering to Volunteer with the NHS

The NHS are also asking volunteers to register for volunteering and the details for this can be found here. https://www.goodsamapp.org/NHS 

This is for people who can drive and get out and about and also for those willing to support patients by phone.

Neighbourly Volunteering

Take part in neighbourly volunteering and help support older people in your community who are staying at home due to the coronavirus epidemic. 

To help you get involved we have produced a postcard that you can print off and complete with key information (including our contact details) and post to older people in your area to let them know you are available should they need support.
