What does it involve?

The typical work of our volunteers is the delivery of meals to clients using a volunteers own car, or acting as a partner to someone else.

We also have opportunities with shopping, promotions, cleaning or helping in the office with administration.

How much time will it take?

Depending on the type of volunteering you are doing, anything from a couple of hours a month to a couple of hours one or more days a week – the choice is yours.

What training will I receive?

New volunteers receive an induction from the staff and are paired with an experienced volunteer who is happy to share their experience and advice
