One aspect of that support is to provide a volunteer handyperson service for elderly and vulnerable people in these areas. We are looking for someone who would be interested in an ongoing role of this nature. You would be performing simple everyday DIY tasks like changing light bulbs, assemble flat pack furniture, maybe helping an elderly person put up some curtains or mend a broken shelf.
Task Description

This is a volunteering opportunity that provides variety and flexibility for an ongoing
commitment.

• Friendly and reliable
• Fit and active
• Able to work unsupervised or as part of a team
