People in Greater Manchester are being urged to volunteer a few hours of their time to help reduce loneliness among older hospital patients whose family and friends are unable to visit them regularly.
The Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) is appealing for volunteers in the Rochdale, Oldham and North Manchester areas to befriend older people on hospital wards to provide companionship and ease the boredom of long spells without visitors.
The Spirit of Manchester Awards is a series of awards celebrating and highlighting all the excellent work being carried out in Manchester’s voluntary and community sector. As well as providing recognition to the sector in these hard times, we want to raise the profile of the sector amongst the general public and encourage local giving and active citizenship.

Rusholme Social-cafe is a relaxed and supportive community space to meet-up, enjoy a range of activities including baking, crafts and community organising training. It takes place at Birch Community Centre, Brighton Grove (off Wilmslow Rd and Dickenson Rd) M18 7BG. It is a short walk from many bus routes from Wilmslow Rd and the 53 route connecting Salford and East Manchester.
