We welcome local volunteers who would like to befriend our elderly residents, assist and support activity sessions in the care home.

Lake View is a beautiful 60 bedded care home for the elderly. There is a coffee shop and cinema lounge within the home and we would like passionate volunteers to help run them over the weekend.

SWAN are in need of volunteers to drive passengers in their own vehicles to vital health and wellbeing appointments. Passengers are usually those on lower incomes, disabled, elderly, frail or infirm. SWAN focusses on tackling loneliness and keeping our rural communities connected and mobile.

From elderly moggies to energic kittens, every day across the UK cats and kittens are in need of a temporary place to stay, and lots of love and TLC! We need more fosterers like you to provide a safe, temporary haven for cats and kittens and provide them with everything they need before they get their chance to land on their four paws and make a house a home.

Do you have an hour a week spare for a cuppa and a chat with an isolated older person? We know lots of older people in your area who would love a little more company. We ask our volunteers to visit an older neighbour once a week for an hour - have a natter, catch up and make a new friend. Please get in touch to find out more.

• Do you want to improve the lives of older people? • Do you love gardening? • Do you have a couple of hours a week to spare? This role involves maintaining and tending to the garden for the residents to enjoy. This may involve trimming hedges, weeding, cutting the lawn and helping with whatever is needed.

Tech Buddies is a project with a huge positive impact on social connectedness and mental health among our older neighbours. The aim of Tech Buddies is to inspire and then support older people to get digitally connected and confident, to stay safe online and to use the internet regularly until they are happy to do so on their own. Together, the Tech Buddy volunteer and learner explore what technology can offer. Wednesdays and/or Saturdays you’ll be helping members aged 60+ get savvy using their smart phones, tablets, and laptops. You could be helping with anything from sending emails to installing apps.

Keep Active is a volunteer delivered care service, run in partnership with the local NHS rehabilitation teams. Keep Active helps older people back to fitness after a fall or illness. Volunteers are matched with clients and visit them weekly for up to nine weeks providing encouragement and support to continue working on their mobility goals. This could include helping with an indoor exercise programme, accompanying someone outdoors or encouraging with stair practice. Volunteers are specially trained by rehabilitation therapists and DBS checked.

Make an amazing difference in someone’s life through being a friendly face connecting them with the outside world, reducing isolation and loneliness and bringing a much-needed smile to their day. Our award-winning Kilburn Good Neighbours scheme has been a lifeline for over 60s in Kilburn and West Hampstead for almost 25 years. Volunteers visit members regularly in their homes, building a relationship with them and working with the Kilburn Good Neighbours lead to communicate any additional needs they have. Some volunteers also support with odd jobs like shopping, escorting the member to the centre or DIY tasks. Training and induction is provided.
