Get Involved
We rely on support from people like you to help socially connect lonely and isolated seniors. The financial aid we receive makes a big difference in how we conduct our programs here at Silver Friends. However, if you prefer to donate your time and energy, we’d love to use your skills and talents in a capacity that helps the lives of our charity's recipients.
If you are interested in becoming a part of our cause, check out the many opportunities available at Silver Friends below. For further information, please contact our friendly Volunteer Coordinator, Mel Primic at mel.primic@silverfriends.org.uk
One-to-one home befriending volunteer
Visit an older isolated and lonely person in the comfort of their own home and enjoy a cup of tea and chat. Beautiful friendships are formed, and you will know that you are making a real positive difference in their life.
Event Volunteers
We have many different events during the year such as special lunches at Christmas, Easter, also High Teas, Summer parties etc. Be a welcoming face who will serve and wait on our lovely guests.
Cuppa and Cake Club Volunteers
Serve teas, coffees and cakes in one of our local community lounges in sheltered accommodation schemes. Help create a warm and friendly environment for many lonely older people to come and enjoy themselves.
Support Volunteer
Be an appreciated friend as you accompany an older person to an event or an outing. Many older people may have lost their confidence and just need someone by their side to re-assure them. Some may need someone to have an arm to hold onto or perhaps have you push their wheelchair. Lovely fun days out for everyone.
