We are a welcoming and fun-loving team, and through these sessions we aim to improve the lives of older people and their carers, combatting loneliness and improving individuals' well-being.

We are looking for sociable volunteers to help run our drop-in sessions. These are held at Y Galon (The Heart), our new community hub in Cowbridge, every Wednesday afternoon from 2.00 to 4.30pm. Refreshments and optional activities (such as games and jigsaws) are provided for anyone from the local community who drops in for some support or just a friendly chat.

You will be present alongside, and supported by the organisation staff members.

• Offering a welcome to Y Galon

• Chatting to and listening to individuals

• Participating in and directing social activities and games

• Preparing and serving refreshments (hot drinks and cold snacks)

• Basic cleaning, such as washing up and wiping surfaces

• Signposting to information, particularly for individuals who have dementia and their carers

• Moving of chairs and tables

Time commitment:  A suggested weekly time commitment is 4 hours, days and hours negotiable with the organisation.
