Craft Volunteers - Cards of Kindness Project
You will be redirected to the Volunteer First website to express your interest.
Embracing Age is a Christian charity working towards a world where older people are valued, connected, and full of hope. Sending cards and craft items to older people in care homes helps reduce loneliness and isolation, builds connection with their local community and lets them know people are thinking of them.
We are currently seeking volunteers to use their crafting skills to create handmade cards to be given to care home residents. We also welcome help from artists and photographers. A variety of volunteer opportunities available depending on your availability, preference and location. Please contact us for more information.
What skills do I need?
- Creative: Do you enjoy making cards/craft items?
- Time management: Have you got the time to create between 5 and 10 cards per month?
- Communication: Would you be able to liaise with the local Embracing Age coordinator or other volunteers to arrange the delivery or distribution of the cards to care homes?
Location
This opportunity can be carried out whilst working from home.
