Urgently needed: Digital Support Volunteers

We’re looking for digital support volunteers to support our Fifty-Plus Digital Drop-in on Wednesday afternoons at the Mildmay Community Centre. If you’re at ease in the digital world, confident using the internet and digital devices, and have great interpersonal skills as well as empathy and patience, please consider sharing your skills with older people who need help navigating the digital maze!

Sessions run from 1-4pm on Wednesdays. We regularly have 30-40 older people attending and really need additional volunteers who can help provide one-to-one support with smartphones, tablets and laptops.

We need help at our Monday afternoon Learning Together sessions too, which are also held at Mildmay Community Centre.

You can volunteer long- or short-term, every week or more intermittently. We can reimburse travel expenses.

If you’re interested in becoming a Digital Support Volunteer, please introduce yourself at volunteering@mrsindependentliving.org or phone Natalie on 0330 380 1013 to find out how you can get involved.
