We run a monthly three course meal for isolated older people with live entertainment. Volunteers are vital to the dinner as with out them it would not go ahead. They provide a variety of roles.
Duties include setting and clearing up, preparing and serving food, washing up, chatting to older people. Volunteers are normally needed from 10.30 - 3.30 once a month.

Organised volunteers who will remain calm when things are busy.
