Care Home Friends

We are looking for volunteers to offer friendship and support to care home residents in areas on the Isle of Wight. This might involve having a cup of tea and a chat, playing a board game, reading aloud, helping someone use a mobile phone or computer, or other activities that a resident would enjoy

Skills

Full training will be given to volunteers who have a caring nature and the ability to relate to older people.
