Since 2013, Marmalade Trust have been running Christmas Day events across Bristol, South Gloucestershire. and North Somerset for those who would otherwise be alone.
Commitment:
- Winter Companion Volunteers will be linked to one of our isolated members.
- They will be required to make one half hour phone call a week to their member, throughout December and January.
- They will need to collect a hamper from us a week before Christmas - there will be a choice of at least two collection dates (dates & collection point in Bristol still TBC).
- On Christmas Day, they will be required to make a doorstep visit to their member, with a lovely Marmalade Trust Hamper and to stay for a socially distanced chat.
We will provide a full guidance pack for this role and you will be supported by our Project Coordinator. We will also provide all necessary PPE and covid-19 safety guidance for your doorstep visit.
Christmas is one of the hardest times of year for those struggling with loneliness. Volunteer with us to bring joy and companionship to someone on their own this winter. Visit our webpage: marmaladetrust.org/christmas and scroll down to role outline and application for more info. Thank you.
