Telephone Befriending Volunteers required
We have a list of older people who are waiting for a Volunteer Home Visitor in all areas of Birmingham.  Would you be prepared to be a short-term Telephone Befriender to a lonely and isolated older person by telephoning them once a week from your own home for a maximum of 20 minutes to have a chat until a permanent Home Visitor can be found? Telephone expenses would be paid.

Advice and Information Support Volunteers required

Would you like to help provide an effective and efficient advice service to members of the public?  Volunteers should be willing to undertake relevant training to the required standard in order to assist with collecting and gathering information from older people and delivering advice and information through drop-ins and some home visits.

If you are interested  in learning more about the above roles, please contact Age Concern Birmingham on info@ageconcernbirmingham.org.uk or 0121 236 2197.
