Volunteering Roles at AVSED
Social Centres
We run three social centres a week: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday afternoons.
Chair Based Exercise
We have 2 exercise classes a week: Monday and Friday mornings
Ad-Hoc Help
Cannot commit to a weekly session? – NO PROBLEM!! We need people to help out whenever you have spare time. This could be fundraising on a weekend, helping out for an hour or so through the week, being free to help on one of our trips and many more opportunities – just get in touch!!
Cuppa & Company
Runs on a Wednesday morning providing our members with a place to meet and socialise
Friendly Visits
One to One visits with a member outside of the headquarters. This can involve going for walks, cups of tea or simply just company for an hour or so.
Shared Tables
Be a host for our shared tables – arrange and organise a meal out and liaise with members and the venue.
Event Ambassador
Help to spread the work of AVSED far and wide by joining a team of volunteers to set up and run stalls at local fairs and events. These stalls would cover both information and fun and games to raise well needed funds.
Minibus Driver
Join our team of minibus drivers, and help bring our members to sessions – you will need the D1 entitlement on your driving licence (automatically included if you passed your driving test before 31st December 1996).
Minibus Escort
Our escorts ride on the minibuses and collect our members from the door, and get them safely on the minibus, and help take them home again at the end of the sessions.

Benefits of Volunteering
Being a volunteer obviously helps our members when they visit us, but did you know that it also can help you too?
In 2018 we carried out a Volunteer Survey and here is some of the feedback:“I feel as a volunteer a certain satisfaction that I am putting something back into the community and helping older people enjoy life”
“It’s important to still feel useful in society”
“Volunteering gives me a sense of belonging within the community and gives me a great feeling of self-worth while helping others”
