How to get involved in our volunteering-from-home programme

July 2020

KiB  regular zooms

These are lively sessions, packed with information about Valuing Older People, our unique volunteering-from-home programme (approved by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award). The programme offers a range of things you can do to support older people in your community during this difficult time.

Pop up Zooms

Now we’ve added a raft of pop-up sessions into the mix. These cover different topics, such as dementia and other challenges faced by older people. Taking part in these sessions will enable you to do more for isolated older people in your community.
