Volunteering opportunities?
We're currently looking for local people who have some time to spare on a regular basis for the following roles:
Community Promotional Volunteer
As a Community Promotional Volunteer you will get to know staff at local Community Centres, GP surgeries and go along to occasional local community events. You'll let people know how Age UK Islington and Islington Carers Hub can provide any help and support they may need. People might be struggling financially, have problems with their housing or be isolated. You'll talk to people informally, host information stalls and make sure that flyers are well stocked at partner organisations.

I got a call the other day, at first I didn't know why they were calling - when I found out it was just to see how I was doing it cheered me up. Aruna, 63
