Description

Rubislaw Park Care Home for older people provides a level of care and support to ensure residents maintain their independence and individuality.

We have a group of older residents who love to cook. By cook we mean mix, fluff, roll, spread, knead, reminisce, socialize over food. Do the things they used to do when they were younger. We are looking for volunteers to assist with this.

All materials will be provided so if you have a passion for food, cooking, baking, cake decorating or just helping out you will be made very welcome to share your skills and helping residents fulfil their potential.

This is a great opportunity where you will make a real difference and all help is appreciated.

Good company, tea, coffee and fine pieces will be provided.
