Volunteer Opportunities
St. Martins Centre gives older people, who might be terribly lonely at home, a chance to meet up with others. Lives are enriched and horizons expanded by enjoying different activities and experiences. We encourage local people to come to the Centre as helpers. Volunteers from overseas give yet another dimension to the relationships here. All these extra workers really add to the life of the place.
The development of good, friendly, trusting relationships is very important. Our members enjoy the company of anyone who takes a real interest in them. We regard activities at the Centre as a means through which we can begin to engage with people and develop trust. The art of valuing members through one to one conversation is just as important.
These are just some of the things you can be involved with or help to set up:
- Newsletter Production
- Leading a Cooking/Baking activity
- Art/Craft work
- Indoor Gardening
- Musical activity/Leading a sing-song
- General volunteer work / befriending
- Leading a Christian Faith discovery group
- Table top games
- One off help on outings
- Helping in the kitchen at lunch times
This is by no means all that can be done - the scope for volunteering is endless. We like to work with any appropriate talent/skill that people have to offer. Please come and talk to us if you are at all interested. For more information see the contacts page or phone Andrew Drury on 01223 508080.
