It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas! We have a number of care services for older people in Tower Hamlets, Tameside, Cumbria and Leeds who are looking for helpers for their Christmas time activities. Your duties as a Volunteer helper will be varied and could include writing Christmas cards, wrapping presents, helping at Christmas parties and Christmas craft activities.

Helping at parties will include setting up the room, moving tables and chairs where necessary. Making and handing out refreshments, setting up party games, playing music, and spreading general Christmas cheer.

If you are helping at a Christmas craft activity you will prepare the materials, promote the activity to residents, make refreshments, help our residents with the crafts where needed, and tidy away at the end of the session.

Christmas jumpers welcomed!
