To visit and provide companionship and emotional support to someone who has had a terminal diagnosis and their loved ones. 

The support can include helping them to find further support, taking them out to give them a break from their four walls, providing some practical support to help them with tasks they are struggling with e.g. putting a duvet cover on; making phone calls etc., providing respite support to give the carer a break from their caring role.

We need to make sure that all of our volunteers have the information and training they need to carry out their roles safely and effectively. You’ll have an induction when you start and we’ll make sure you get any training the role needs, with refreshers when necessary. 

Our tea party group coordinators are a vital part of the Re-engage team.

Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for our older people, and the regular, warm, friendly chats and companionship provide a vital link with the outside world from which they have become isolated.

As a tea party group coordinator, you will ensure older guests know when and where the next tea party will be held and who will be collecting them each month.
