Volunteers share tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits with elderly residents. There is often some form of entertainment – music, a visiting juggler or belly dancer, bingo or sometimes the afternoon takes the form of just a pleasant sit and chat.
SCA's befriending club for elderly people at Dichburn Place Care Home (on Mill Road).
We're looking for volunteers to run activities there such as cooking, arts and crafts, a book club, board games, trips out to local museums and gardens, or whatever creative ideas you can think of!
Please get in touch if you'd like to organise these types of activities (with help from SCA staff), or even if you'd like to go along and help out at the sessions but don't have the time to plan and organise them.
