The role in a nutshell:
Age UK Cheshire's Sharing Time Reconnect Befriending service strives to reduce loneliness and isolation by matching our volunteers with older people via a meaningful befriending relationship.
Please note: You must be located within Cheshire to apply for this role
What will you be doing?
You will be working with your befreindee and the Service Coordinator to understand their goals and how you can help them to achieve them. This could involved visiting the befreindee at their home for a chat, a walk, or a coffee in town. Depending on their goals, this could also include supporting and facilitating access to local groups and physical activities e.g. craft groups, coffee mornings, lunch clubs or meeting up for a coffee with other befriendees to form their own friendship group.
How would you be supported in this role?
Our volunteers receive an initial induction into the work and policies of our charity and then specific training on befriending, health and safety and safeguarding. You will be part of a caring and experienced team and have the support of a dedicated service coordinator.
Why do we need volunteers in this role?
Loneliness among older people is a growing crisis. By volunteering with Age UK Cheshire’s Sharing Time Reconnect project, you will offer more than a regular visit – you will offer a lifeline to older people in your community.
Befriending visits usually last around between 1 and 2 hours in business hours. They are typically weekly but can be flexible depending on the individual you are supporting and their circumstances. We also appreciate that volunteers may have other commitments, such as caring responsibilities so we will work with you and the individual to agree a pattern which works for everyone.
What skills, interests or experience might be helpful in this role?
- Patience and a warm and friendly attitude.
- Active listening skills with the ability to motivate others.
- A wish to support older people in a person- centred manner, taking account of preferences and abilities.
- Awareness of acting in a way that respects equality, diversity, and inclusion.
- Willingness to follow guidance to keep yourself and others safe.
Additional information:
- This role is subject to police checking by the Disclosure and Barring Service.
- You will need to be willing and able to travel to your befriendee and travel expenses will be reimbursed.
- We are looking for volunteer befrienders throughout Cheshire.
Are you looking for a meaningful, flexible way to support others? Join the Talking Bubble Project and help tackle loneliness through the power of a simple phone call.
Since the pandemic, many befriending services have wound down—but Talking Bubble remains one of the few projects still offering regular, phone-based companionship to those who need it most. Demand for this kind of support remains high, and we’re actively looking for kind, compassionate English-speaking volunteers to help meet this growing need.
What is the Talking Bubble Project?
☎︎ It’s a phone-based befriending service that connects volunteers with older adults and vulnerable individuals across the UK who are experiencing loneliness and social isolation. By committing just a little time each week, you can offer someone the warmth of conversation and a regular point of connection.
Why Volunteer With Us?
✔ Make a genuine impact on someone's life
✔ Enjoy flexible volunteering hours from the comfort of your home
✔ Receive full training, ongoing support, and a reference upon completion
✔ Boost your sense of purpose and community
What You’ll Need
✅ No experience required—just a kind heart, a listening ear, and a willingness to talk
✅ Volunteers must complete Safeguarding Adults Level 2 training and undergo a DBS check—we cover the cost of both
✅ Must be a UK resident
How to Get Involved

Can you help us by providing a calm, safe, and caring environment for our small furries whilst we find them their fur-ever home?
Often when we think about animal fostering, cats, and dogs spring to mind, but have you ever thought about fostering our smaller animals? The RSPCA received more than 5,000 reports last year about rabbits and other small furries relating to neglect or abandonment and rescued an average of 340 small furries a month! To help us with the rehoming of these small animals, we are actively looking to add to our fantastic team of volunteer fosterers.
As a small animal fosterer, you would play an essential role in providing the animals in our care with a temporary home whilst they are being rehomed. Like us, even small furries have specific needs and requirements, but rest assured, once we have guided you through the fostering process the animal centre will ensure that you have all the necessary guidance, equipment, food, and veterinary care.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Provide them with care, safe suitable housing, and space for playtime, as outlined in our policies and guidelines.
-
Ensure that they are groomed if appropriate and fed and watered.
-
Provide them with suitable and clean bedding to keep them cosy.
-
Give them lots of attention and plenty of cuddles as they are very sociable animals.
What We’re Looking For:
-
Volunteers aged 18 or over who have had plenty of experience of caring for animals.
-
Fostering experience is beneficial but not essential as training is provided.
-
For their wellbeing, our small furries may need to be fostered in pairs, so please bear this in mind.
-
Any existing pets or animals need to have been spayed/neutered (some medical reasons may mean they cannot be so, please let us know if this is the case).
-
You should be located in South Buckinghamshire or within a reasonable distance.
What’s in It for You?
-
You will be making a massive difference to the welfare of the small animals in your care.
-
Join a community which will enable you to meet new people and make new friends.
-
Learning new skills through our comprehensive induction and fostering training programme.
-
Enhance your CV by adding your volunteering experience and newly acquired skills.
-
The RSPCA is happy to reimburse you for any pre-agreed expenses that you may incur through volunteering for us.
Practical Considerations:
-
Health & Safety: You’ll need to complete a simple online Health & Safety course before starting the role.
Disclaimer:
Our voluntary roles are subject to:
-
An informal interview and trial period.
-
Submission of two referees’ contact details.
-
Completion of relevant training and assessments for the role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

We’re dropping something big. And no, it’s not a new hoodie line. It’s youth work — reimagined, remixed, and brought straight to the streets.
We’re URBAN YOUTH, a brand‑new youth work charity turning unused spaces, empty corners, and forgotten buildings into pop‑up hubs where young people can actually show up as themselves. Think of it like an urban wear drop… but instead of clothes, we’re dropping opportunities, support, creativity, and community.
Right now, we’re in conception mode — building the blueprint, shaping the culture, and getting ready for our first pop‑ups. And this is where you come in.
The Role: Volunteer Project Manager
You’ll be the person who helps turn raw ideas into a real, operational movement. You’ll lead on project planning, mapping out our start‑up phase, and getting us launch‑ready. If you love taking a vision and building the structure that makes it possible, this is your moment.
You’ll help us:
-
Shape the project roadmap from concept to launch
-
Build timelines, workflows, and simple systems that keep us moving
-
Coordinate early‑stage tasks across a small, creative team
-
Spot risks, gaps, and opportunities before they become problems
-
Turn “we should do this” into “this is happening next week”
-
Make sure our first pop‑ups land with impact, intention, and energy
This isn’t corporate project management. It’s grassroots, hands‑on, start‑up energy — the kind where you help build the thing you’re planning.
Who This Is For
We’re looking for someone who:
-
Gets energised by building something from scratch
-
Loves the idea of youth work that goes to young people, not the other way around
-
Can bring clarity, structure, and momentum to a creative, early‑stage team
-
Isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and make things happen
-
Wants to say “I helped build this from day one”
Why It Matters
The systems you build now will shape how we show up for young people later. Your planning becomes the backbone of our first drop. Your structure becomes the foundation of our movement. Your leadership helps us turn empty spaces into places where young people feel seen, safe, and supported.
If you’re ready to help architect something bold, raw, and genuinely new in youth work…
Join the drop. Build the movement. Change the game.
To empower London’s youth through agile, short-term opportunities that build skills, social capital, and confidence via a radical, volunteer led model
