The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) encourages and supports people aged 50+ to volunteer in their local communities. We are looking for people over the age of 50, who are interested in becoming volunteer organisers who can help ensure that our groups and activities run smoothly.
Across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire RSVP run 5 projects involving hundreds of volunteers. These include volunteering activities within local hospitals and primary schools, charitable knitting groups, a walking group for older people, and a community Handyperson Service.
RSVP are looking for new Volunteer Organisers who can help ensure that our Primary School Volunteering programme, groups and activities across Falkirk runs smoothly. For example, you will help us to recruit new volunteers, and making sure that existing volunteers are supported and enjoying their volunteering experience. The volunteering hours are fully flexible and we will be able to work around your availability. If you are passionate about volunteering and would like to help us support other volunteers, we would love to hear from you!
Our Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme running in Forth Valley encourages and assists older people to use their skills and experience to volunteer and keep active in retirement. Across England, Wales and Scotland we have hundreds of older people volunteering in their communities including in local hospitals, schools, healthy walking groups and charitable knitting groups. Volunteering can have a huge impact on the people and services we support, the local community and volunteers themselves.
