We are looking for compassionate, patient, and friendly volunteers who are comfortable supporting elderly residents during a major house move. Good communication and listening skills are important, along with the ability to provide reassurance and a calm presence. Volunteers should be willing to help with light practical tasks such as making beds, unpacking personal belongings, preparing refreshments, and assisting residents to settle comfortably into their new homes. Empathy, reliability, and a positive attitude are key.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of elderly residents during an important life transition. This role offers valuable experience in community support, elderly care, and teamwork, while helping to build confidence, communication, and interpersonal skills. Volunteers will gain a sense of achievement from providing practical and emotional support, meet new people, and be part of a positive and rewarding community project.
