Volunteer
We rely on our volunteers – without them, we wouldn’t be able to offer the range of activities which are so valued by our members. By giving up some of your free time you can have the satisfaction of knowing you are making a real difference to the lives of older people in your local community. Even if you can only devote a few hours per week, it all helps. What’s more, we can guarantee that you will meet some marvellous people, share some great experiences, and make some lasting friendships.
Live at Home is a befriending charity dedicated to reducing loneliness and social isolation among older people in our community.
We run friendly, seated lunches and afternoon teas a couple of times each month for approximately 30 elderly members. These events offer a safe, welcoming space where people can enjoy good food, companionship, and conversation.
We are currently seeking a volunteer cook, or someone who simply enjoys cooking, to help prepare simple, homemade meals for these gatherings.
Typical food includes:
Soup
Sandwiches
Cakes and traybakes
Sausage rolls and similar light meals
You do not need to be a professional cook—just a love of home cooking and a willingness to help. Your support would play an important role in creating a warm, social atmosphere and making a meaningful difference to the lives of older people.
If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Please contact enquiries@liveathome.im or telephone 627778 for more information.
Volunteer Drivers Wanted
Live at Home is seeking volunteer drivers to help reduce loneliness and isolation among older adults.
If you have a few hours to spare each week, fortnight, or month, you could make a real difference by supporting older people to attend social outings and activities around the Island.
As a volunteer driver, you will help older adults stay connected, active, and engaged in their community.
All volunteers will be required to complete:
Relevant training
A DBS check
A MIDAS driving assessment
If you enjoy meeting people and would like to support older adults in a practical and rewarding way, we would love to hear from you.
Please contact enquiries@liveathome.im or telephone 627778 for more information.
