Volunteering is a great way to support your local community, meet new people, share your skills and make a difference to someone’s day.
Whether you have a few hours to spare each week or can help occasionally, there are a range of volunteering opportunities available across Connex services.
Volunteer Opportunities Include:
- Befriending – Providing companionship and social connection through regular visits, outings and friendly conversations.
- Transport – Helping people get to appointments, activities and other important destinations when they cannot access public transport.
- Home from Hospital – Supporting people as they settle back into their homes after a hospital stay by helping with practical tasks and providing reassurance.
- Readycall – Offering social contact and practical support to people living with life-limiting conditions.
- Tea, Talk & Tech – Helping people build confidence with technology in a friendly and informal setting.
Why Volunteer?
We’ve heard from our volunteers that volunteering has helped them:
- Meet new people
- Feel connected to their community
- Learn new skills
- Use existing skills in a meaningful way
- Give something back
Most importantly, volunteers help people stay connected, independent and supported within their communities.
