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 in Islington.

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 between 2 and 40 older people attending, and we really need additional volunteers who can provide one-to-one support with smartphones, tablets and laptops and a wide range of support requests.

You can volunteer long- or short-term, every week or more intermittently, or just on a one-off basis if you have volunteering days given by your employer.

We can reimburse travel expenses for regular volunteers.

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