Description of opportunity:

Age UK promotes the wellbeing of all older people which helps make later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. The Openshaw Day Centre is run by Age UK Manchester & is looking for volunteers to assist our Support Workers, who provide Day Care for approximately 30 older ladies and gentlemen with various needs. These roles are very varied and could involve making tea and toast, serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, clearing tables, washing up and joining in activities such as bingo, quizzes and ten pin bowling. We pay out-of-pocket travel expenses and, due to the nature of our business, volunteers will need to submit to a DBS check. If you have a few hours to spare each week and would like to join a happy, friendly and caring team, please get in touch, we're sure you will find it very rewarding.
Skills / Qualifications:

No specific skills or qualifications are required.

However, a caring nature & understanding of the importance of confidentiality with older people is desirable.
