Our Member Review and Assessment Volunteers provide a vital role in supporting an older person as a member. Our volunteers provide a warm friendly face, building trust, rapport and confidence for an older person to attend social activities, so often needed when an older person who has very few friends or family living close by. Our volunteers also provide insight into how members are benefitting from the activities and services that are offered by our services.
Every person who undertakes a member assessment and/or a member review is given full and comprehensive training.
