Even if you feel you don’t have any skills that may be appropriate, just spending some quality time with the residents’ would be fantastic. We are also looking for volunteers who would have the time to help us with community and social outings at different times of the day. So if you have a little or a lot of time to spare please come along and make someone’s day, by being there ti listen and help them. If you are considering being a befriender on a one to one basis, then a PVG check would be required. Application Form can be obtained by email from the Volunteer Centre.

About Places for People Scotland Care & Support
This is a six month project funded by the Midlothian Council’s Innovation Fund.
It is a pilot programme that is delivering intensive personal development for residents in a care home. Two Personal Development Workers deliver the programme.
The objectives of the programme include:
• establishing individual and community identity • enhancing wellbeing and self worth • increasing levels of engagement in their chosen communities • increasing social networking capacity and levels of activity • evidencing value and impact.
We are looking for volunteers that can complement the work of the Personal Development Workers. This would focus on supporting the older person to re-engage with skills, interests, a sense of identity, raising expectations and broadening opportunities.
