Volunteer Recruitment Events
The Volunteer Hub
Volunteering is an invaluable part of what we offer, and we now have more than 65 Volunteers in the Carers’ Hub Rochdale Volunteering Team. Our amazing group of volunteers offer invaluable support to Carers in many ways. Our volunteers include: many who make calls to a Carer each week to offer a listening ear; a fitness instructor who keeps us fit with online exercise sessions; a Volunteer Counsellor; and many more. In December, Volunteers gave more than 300 hours of their time supporting Carers. If you would like to find out more about volunteering, please email volunteer@rochdalecarers.co.uk or call Natalie Paintin, Carers’ Breaks Co-Ordinator on 0345 0138 208.
We offer full training and support throughout your volunteering journey.
Sitting-In-Service
Our Sitting-in-Service offers Carers the opportunity to take a two-hour break from their caring role whilst a Volunteer spends time with the person they care for. Due to the current circumstances we are in, our Sitting-In-Service is currently on hold. As soon as we know more about being able to offer this service again, we will contact our Carers who were receiving this service, and also anyone who has requested it too. ‘
My Time’ Offer
The Carers’ Hub Rochdale is working in partnership with Link4Life and other providers to provide a ‘My Time’ Voucher Scheme for eligible Carers. If eligible, Carers can be provided with up to £20/£30 in My Time Vouchers, to use and enjoy. This can include, playing golf, massages, enjoying afternoon tea, gym, swim and many other activities.
