Volunteer in Heathlands Village
To befriend residents at Heathlands Village Care Home. There are a variety of roles available from chatting to a resident in the lounges to taking part in art, music, singing or games in the activity centre to helping serve tea or even being a mealtime companion. Knowing that you can use your listening skills, empathy and life experience to enhance the lives of vulnerable residents makes this a hugely worthwhile opportunity. Our residents have a range of needs, the majority have some form of dementia, and most have a mobility need.
Not sure which role suits you or need a little friendly help? Please contact Angie at angie@jvn.org.uk for London or Rebecca at manchester@jvn.org.uk for Manchester.

Charity
The Fed.
The Fed is the leading social care charity in Greater Manchester for Jewish people of all ages and from all backgrounds. Since 1867 we have focused on being a professional organisation offering excellent support services in a warm and caring atmosphere.
Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the many people in need, who seek advice, support and guidance. These people include: lonely and isolated people, carers, children at risk or with special needs, the bereaved, people with mental health problems or physical disabilities, people in financial crisis, people in hospital or care homes, and people living with dementia.
Alongside support in Heathlands, our care home and community hub, we offer support to people in their own homes using our valued and dedicated team of over 500 volunteers who underpin almost every area of our work.
