We are looking for volunteers to help out at Havelock on Monday and Friday afternoons to support our Cold Hands, Warm Hearts group.
This group is currently focused on the Elderly- where the volunteers will need to have social skills to interact with many people who may be experiencing loneliness, you will also help make cups of tea and put nibbles out.
You will also be required to set up and tidy away the tables and chairs. The group currently play puzzles and we are looking to offer the group more within the time they are in the centre, in the future.
