Make someone's day! Help reduce loneliness and social isolation by volunteering at one of their social cafes. The cafes offer older people the chance to chat with others over a cuppa. Quizzes, games and a range of other activities are on offer.
Their social cafe volunteers build a positive relationship with members by:
The Older Person's Service provides a variety of support including volunteer befrienders and paid staff who support older people in their own homes to reduce social isolation and loneliness. It provides support for social activities within the local community and practical support such as trips to local shops and medical appointments. It also hosts five Social Cafes per week where people aged 65+ can drop in for a bit of fun and a cuppa. These services are offered across Fife.
