Beth Johnson Foundation
Location:
Stoke Description: Volunteering has been central to Beth Johnson Foundation for over 50 years, promoting positive ageing in our local communities. We want people to enjoy age-friendly and inclusive, socially connected volunteering opportunities with us. We want volunteers to feel valued and strengthened, contributing with purpose to building a future for all ages. We recognise the unique skills, strengths, and gifts volunteers share. We embrace the benefits and positive impact that volunteering can have for individuals, for Beth Johnson Foundation, and for our communities. We need more volunteer Digital Friends! I help older people so they can connect to their friends and family. The most rewarding thing about being a Digital Friend is seeing people smile when they realise they are able to do things they thought were impossible to do. Also, you are able to make many new friends that will appreciate what you are doing for them and have a great time.
- Volunteer Quote Do you want to join our volunteer team helping older people to use digital technology?
You don’t need to be a digital expert to volunteer; all training is provided. Digital technology has transformed our lives and is now central to things such as communications, health, work, public services, shopping, and leisure. It is more important than ever that everyone has opportunities to develop basic digital skills and confidence. BJF is recruiting volunteer Digital Friends who are patient and willing to help people learn what technology is, how it can be used to stay in touch with family and friends, and how it can open up a new world of connections. Personal experience of using a digital device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer will be helpful, but Digital Friends don’t need to be technical experts. Volunteer Digital Friends support older people at our monthly Tea & Tech sessions at Parkfield House. Are you good at listening and able to offer friendly and helpful digital support to people?
