Volunteering

Volunteering

One of the major strengths and differentiating characteristics of Bradbury House is the network of volunteers who support us and contribute their skills in a variety of ways.

These volunteers include trustees, committee members, social visitors, Activity Centre helpers and financial supporters.

We are always looking to add volunteers to our team and would welcome talking to anyone who would like to become involved with Bradbury House to understand how they can best use their available time and skills. To help that discovery we support each volunteer and provide regular training for them.

If you have some spare time once a week, once a fortnight or even once a month, we would love your help. You could be the ideal volunteer for us if you:

  • enjoy older peoples’ company and can listen, talk and share memories
  • can bring your daily experiences of life into the home to help stimulate and enliven the resident’s lives
  • would like to befriend our residents and day care visitors
  • would like to help with word and board games, crosswords and quizzes
  • are computer literate and could help our residents learn to use our computer
  • have a particular skill you could share
  • would like to escort our residents on mini-bus trips
  • would like to drive our 16-seater mini-bus
  • have some new and stimulating ideas for entertaining our residents

If you would like to know more or talk to someone about what you have to offer, you can email us on activities@bradburyhouse.co.uk or call us on 01494 671780. Or you can visit our Contact Us page to fill in the form there.
