Volunteer Opportunity: Be a Friendly Companion on Day Trips!

We’re looking for compassionate and friendly volunteers to support our independent living residents during day trips. Our residents are fully capable but occasionally need a bit of help with walking or just a friendly face to accompany them on their outings. If you enjoy meeting new people and want to make a difference in someone's day, we would love to have you on board!

What’s involved:

• Accompanying residents on occasional day trips

• Providing light support with walking or mobility (e.g., offering an arm or guiding them through busy areas)

• Offering a warm and friendly presence to make the outing more enjoyable

• Assisting with minor tasks, such as carrying bags etc

What we’re looking for:

• A kind, patient, and sociable person who enjoys spending time with others

• Someone comfortable supporting others in a gentle, respectful manner

• A positive attitude and willingness to make someone’s day a little brighter

Why volunteer with us?

• Make a real impact: Help our residents enjoy outings and experiences they may not otherwise feel comfortable doing alone.

• Flexible schedule: Volunteer on trips that fit into your schedule—no regular commitment required.

• Enjoyable and social: Meet wonderful people, both residents and fellow volunteers, in a fun, relaxed setting.

• Personal fulfilment: Knowing you’re making a difference to someone’s life by simply being there and offering your company.
