The Coley Park Over 50s club is a friendly group looking for additional volunteers. We are looking for someone who has a few hours to spare every week on a Tuesday.
Ideally, you will be a car driver who can help us to do the weekly shopping for the club. You will be fully reimbursed and supported to know what to buy each week.
We are also looking for someone who enjoys organising and planning, to help ensure that the club has everything that it needs each week.
The club supports lonely older people to get to know their neighbours. You will be part of a team making a real difference to the lives of older and isolated people and strengthening the local community.
