Description

Age UK Kensington and Chelsea actively combats loneliness by connecting isolated people within their community and supporting them to join group activities. Through our range of activities, courses and clubs we provide opportunities to meet like-minded people, take trips and learn new skills.

We'd love to hear from any UCL students who would like to help deliver our Philosophy sessions and explore new concepts, challenge ideas, & stretch their mind through questioning & reasoning. Engage in lively debate & discuss topics such as religion, ethics, science and the arts.

Duties

We are looking for a volunteer who can run 'Philosophy' session for our members. This would be a great opportunity for anyone who has patience and enthusiasm for teaching and of course has an interest in philosophy. The class is once a week so a regular commitment would be required.

Who will the volunteers be working with?
Older population.
Training
We will provide an induction session before you start volunteering with us.

Time commitment

Sessions will be held on a weekly basis for 1 hour in one of our venue in Kensington and Chelsea. The new term will start the second week of September 2024.

Like all volunteer recruiters we work with, they have signed up to our service standards, agreeing to abide by our policy on partnership working to keep you safe and supported whilst you volunteer.

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch with us at any time.
