Status Parent Idea: Combating Loneliness and Isolation Amongst Older People read

Date created: 17 Jan 2012 Team v are a group of young people inspired to make positive change in their local communities. We're currently running a campaign about loneliness and isolation amongst older people. This is an issue that believe to be very important as recent estimates place the number of people aged over 65 who are often or always lonely at over 1 million.
There are 3 aspects: Talk, Socialise, Connect.... more

Action: Focus Group Co-ordinators Needed


 

I need volunteers to help me to organise and facilitate focus groups with older people, then collate the information into an action plan. Tasks will involve researching local groups and organisations that work with older people, attending the focus groups and making notes of outcomes, followed by a meet up to put the information together. It will likely be over a 2-3 week period where you will need to commit to a minimum of 2-3 hours per week.

You need to be able to travel around the Lewisham borough comfortably - predominantly Catford and Brockley. You will be reimbursed for travel expenses. Benefits include pizza at the initial meeting, certificates for those that volunteer 10 hours or more, and the opportunity to receive vouchers for your hard work.
If you are interested in getting involved in a different way, please contact me to see how you can help. There will be some one-day roles available in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out.
Please feel free to apply for all three volunteer roles if you can commit to the full 7 weeks of the campaign!

Want to apply? email jo.newell@vinspired.com or head to the Team v website: www.vinspired.com/teamv and find me in the leaders section, username littlestar87. Check out my opportunity and click "I'd like to do this."
