Toe Nail Cutting:
Age Concern, all across East Sussex

Older people often experience difficulty reaching their feet so cutting toe nails can become a problem. After training, volunteers carry out simple toenail cutting in client's homes or in designated venues. More complex foot care is never undertaken.

Volunteers should be reliable, honest, patient and responsible with good listening skills.

--------------------------------------------

Home from Hospital:
Age Concern, all across East Sussex

Volunteers visit people in their homes after their discharge from hospital in order to offer practical and emotional support for a short term (4-6 weeks). You may have to do some shopping, collect prescriptions or other light tasks making the client's life a little easier.

Volunteers need to be trustworthy and reliable with good listening and communication skills.

--------------------------------------------

Befriending Volunteers:
Age Concern, all across East Sussex

Volunteers befriend older people living alone in their own homes in order to provide companionship for a specified period of time. They assist older people in something of their choosing which will make their life more pleasurable or grant them a greater degree of independence. Examples could be joining the local library, trips to the shops, restoring contact with lost friends.

Volunteers need to be trustworthy and reliable with good listening and communication skills.
