Summary
Spend social time with the elderly: play board games, help with crafts, support clients with gardening activities, assist with quizzes, serve refreshments.Detailed description
Over Day Centre is open Mon-Fri 9.30-3.30 offering a place for older people in Cambridgeshire to socialise. We're looking for volunteers to spend time with our clients: help them with quizzes, support them with gardening activities, play table top games with them, assist them with craft activities, or serve them refreshments. If you play an instrument, or can lead a singalong, or are trained in dance or some form of exercise/fitness, then you might like to share your skils/talents to help provide our clients with a meaningful experience.
Any ideas for new entertainment would be greatly received and considered.

About Over Day Centre
Our goal is to help our clients remain as independent, socially active and physically mobile as possible, so they can continue to live as contributing members of their local community. We’re also a support for families who need respite from the emotional and/or physically exhausting challenges of caring for a loved one on a daily basis.
