Age UK Kensington & Chelsea
Age UK Kensington & Chelsea is a local charity working with and for older people. We aim to promote independence and well-being in later life, encouraging self-help and peer support. We offer a wide range of services and activities, and provide interesting opportunities for people of all ages to get involved as volunteers.
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 student who would like to help deliver our Poetry writing & Literature appreciation sessions.
Duties
We are looking for a volunteer who can run 'Poetry & Literature Appreciation' 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 writing. The class is once a week so a regular commitment would be required.
Who will the volunteers be working with?
over 55s local residents
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.
