131 Club Volunteer

You will:

  • Help set up activity sessions
  • Assist clients to get to an activity room and be comfortably seated
  • Make sure clients have all they need to be able to participate in activities
  • Co-deliver activities with staff — like chair football, singing, arts and crafts, quizzes and much, much more
  • Encourage clients to participate as much as they are able or would like to
  • Provide practical support to help the Club run smoothly by:
  • Setting tables, serving food, cleaning up after meals, and making snacks and refreshments
  • Providing mobility assistance so clients can get around

We have around 90 clients attending our 131 Club each week; we’re open from Monday to Saturday as it’s such a popular service. Older people attend for lots of reasons, and we’re all about making sure they have a good time, doing activities they enjoy with people they like and having a nice hot meal. One of the biggest issues facing older people is loneliness as two-fifths of all older people (about 3.9 million) say the television is their main company (Age UK, 2014). We feel proud to offer our 131 Club — bringing older people together and so much more.
