Connections For Life Volunteer
- VO96312
- Home-based volunteering
Description
Our Connections for Life service entails friendship telephone calls from volunteers to beneficiaries within the RAF community who maybe experiencing loneliness, adapting to life after service or just looking for a general chat. As a Connections Volunteer, you will have the support of a dedicated coordinator as your point of contact.
What’s in it for you
The opportunity to help members of the RAF community to feel less isolated and lonely and the sense of achievement having done this. It can help enhance your communication and listening skills, be very rewarding and you will gain a new meaningful relationship.
A RAF or forces background is not essential, and we welcome applications from all areas of the community.
Organisation aims and objectives
The RAF Association is a member-led, welfare charity that exists to ensure that all members of the RAF community are supported, when they require it.
