The Elders Group will be temporarily placed on hold due to the impacts of Covid-19.
After a short period of inactivity, we are re-developing the Elders Group at Birchfield Big Local. We are seeking to recruit a mixture of experienced and interested volunteers.
CAN YOU HELP?
Elders Group Volunteer Assistants will develop and plan activities, outings and events in conjunction with other staff and partners.
Background:
The Elders Group was initially set up to provide socialising and informational activities for people aged 50 and over from a range of backgrounds and cultures, that live within the Birchfield Big Local area.
Some of the types of activities in the revised group may include:
-
Health & wellbeing talks, workshops or external visits delivered or hosted by third party organisations or practitioners
-
Arts and creative sessions (e.g. tie dye, t-shirt printing, visits to exhibitions, museums and recreational grounds etc)
-
Healthy eating and taster sessions encouraging participants to think about what they eat and the impact on their physical health
-
Incorporating BBL annual Christmas meal and choir events as an integral part of the activities of the Elders Group
