Short-term support

​Our volunteers do not do personal care or housework, but here are some examples of the kind of low level support a volunteer is will provide for a couple of months:
  • Regular weekly contact during difficult times such as bereavement
  • Support following hospitalisation, e.g. running small errands, getting a pint of milk, loaf of bread or prescription, organising meals
  • Help with small household tasks like changing a light bulb, posting letters
  • Help and support to use local facilities and resources, etc.
  • Accompanying someone the first few times of joining new social activities
  • Help with correspondence and forms
  • Money handling paperwork
  • Support to organise transport and outings
  • Support to read books, newspapers and library books
  • One to one activities to support physical and mental functions, e.g. scrabble, art and craft, going for a walk
  • Short term animal care, e.g. walking a dog if the owner is incapacitated​
