The centre is very keen to use volunteers

When I asked the venue, Anita said; We would love to use the team to assist with the members during the day and add new stimulus, possible ideas: -

the team will, mingle with the centre users, help serve teas and Coffees and Lunch. 

The centre is always open to other skills the team have. Previous teams have organised; Local history sessions, how to use your phone better sessions, a pool tournament, line dancing session, Art sessions, ran a quiz, Language sessions etc. 

An ideal volunteer for Age UK Ealing is compassionate, patient, and enjoys working with older adults. They should be empathetic, reliable, and willing to engage in activities that promote health, well-being, and social connection. Volunteers should have good communication skills, be comfortable assisting with tasks like serving meals or leading activities, and be proactive in making a positive impact on the lives of socially isolated seniors.

Volunteering at Age UK Ealing has a significant impact on both volunteers and service users. Volunteers provide companionship, support, and a sense of community for older adults, helping combat loneliness and isolation. By assisting with activities like exercise classes, arts, and crafts, volunteers contribute to enhancing the well-being and confidence of older people.
