If this sounds like you?... we would love you to consider volunteering with us for a few hours per week. Our Sheltered Housing is a group of 70 properties split between two complexes for older people and people with additional support needs and physical disabilities, to enable them to live independently for as long as possible within their own homes.

We are looking for people who are keen to donate some of their time to arrange and plan activities for our residents in our communal space. Activities could include setting up a knitting group, arts and crafts, games nights or even a social evening where everyone is invited to come along and have a chat with each other which will help combat social isolation and improve wellbeing. Some activities work well and some not so well the challenge is to find out which activities our residents like the best.
