As an activity group driver, you liaise with your group coordinator and take older guests to and from the activity groups each month.

About Re-engage

Re-engage rely on volunteers to help with our work to end social isolation in the UK's oldest older people. As well as an LGBT+ specific telephone befriending service, we run free, regular social groups for isolated older people. Each group is run thanks to a host of local volunteers who give up their time to brighten the lives of older people who have found themselves alone during the later stages of life.
