AddressLove music? Want to make a difference for older people living in Residential Care?
We have the volunteer role for you.
Choirs and musical activities help people who live in Residential Care homes to engage, enjoy life and exercise their minds. These activities are part of our healthy ageing approach to care because they have social, mental and even physical benefits.
Choir Group and Musician Volunteers are involved in a range of tasks to support these activities, including:
- Assisting with set up and pack down of the Choir or Activity Space
- Singing or playing instruments
- Use of wheelchairs to help residents get to and from activities
We want to hear from you! Let us know if you have any skills or experiences with music, singing or choirs that you think would benefit our residents.
Time commitment
This role ideally suits a volunteer with 15 hours to give per week. However, we work with all volunteers to set up the most suitable days and times for you. Any amount of time you can give, whether it’s a few days a week or a few hours a month, is valuable for our community and much appreciated.
