Lunch Club Volunteer Drivers

  • VO65289

Description

The Caf4e & Company Lunch Club is working with Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership to address the problem of social isolation among older people in Bridge of Don. The Lunch Club runs once a fortnight on Fridays and provides a nutritious hot meal along with activities and entertainment and the opportunity for members and volunteers to socialise and develop friendships. Volunteers benefit as they find themselves involved in a community where they are able to help others but also receive support, encouragement and friendship. We provide a warm and welcoming environment and volunteers are able to choose which tasks suit them best – driving, social interaction & hosting tables, practical tasks, befriending.

A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference. All help is greatly appreciated.

Drivers should be over 25 and under 70 and have category D1 on their driving licence.

We normally walk between 5 and 7 miles and most drivers in the past have been happy to walk with the group but this is not a requirement! Prospective volunteers will be given support to familiarise themselves with the vehicle and are welcome to come along on a walk to see what is involved. A fantastic opportunity to help. All volunteers make a real difference and are greatly appreciated. For more information please contact Doris Strachan, Secretary at email: dorismstrachan@googlemail.com or telephone 07766752284.

Shopping Delivery Helper

Do you want to make a difference in your local community but have only a few hours to spare? We are looking for volunteers to support older adults who are unable to get their own groceries by providing a vital, weekly food shopping and delivery service. Our van helpers deliver shopping around Perth City and its immediate surroundings accompanied by a van driver. Shopping is collected from Tesco, Crieff Road in Perth already boxed up. You will be required to help stack the boxes securely in a dedicated Food Train van and then deliver the shopping to each customers’ home where it is unpacked, checked and put away if required. We deliver on a Wednesday and you will be required from approximately 10am – 3pm. This is a great opportunity for community minded people who want to stay fit and active and help people who are facing challenges with the basic necessity of getting food into their home.
