Day Centre Support - Stamford Hill AJEX House

What difference you will make

Volunteering in the day centre is a way to provide practical support to the centre, and consequently our members. You can make their experience a pleasurable one. It’s a great way to engage with local older people in your community. Our regular volunteers love the role and some have been doing it for years.

What additional skills or experience you should have

• Confidently engage with a diverse range of people and enjoy helping others
• A strong understanding of issues that affect people in later life
• Reliability, consistency and dependability
• Patience, empathy and a non-judgmental attitude
• A genuine interest in supporting older people and enriching their day
• Flexibility and a can-do attitude
• Willingness to get involved, from setting up to making tea
