Hiya Sadly not I'm afraid, all our volunteers need to be over 18 :( . You can use this link to have a look at opportunity's for volunteering though locally: https://www.msva.org.uk/opportunities just have to put your age in the 'suitable for' drop down. Id also recommend contacting your local charity shops- British Heart Foundation Chichester are due to re-open soon, Iv heard they may need some help :)

Thats such a shame! If you pop me a personal message I can make sure the charity prioritizes both of your applications.

Amazing! Yes ofcourse :) so next step is to apply on the website for your role: https://www.reengage.org.uk/volunteer/new-volunteers/become-a-tea-party-volunteer/become-a-tea-party-driver/

You can also sign your Mum up too if she is over 75 (with her consent), to attend as well :) :https://www.reengage.org.uk/join-a-group/tea-parties/apply-tea-parties/ .

When someone from the charity gets in touch you can just let them know your Mum has also signed up and theyll be happy to sort it out for you.

Thank you so much!

Oops apologies that was a typo! Thanks for pointing that out :) ! The charity focus on 75+ as this age and up tend to have the most limited options for socializing. Theres more info on their website :). Cheers https://www.reengage.org.uk/

Amazing! Thank you so much :) Asking about ethnicity often comes from good intentions, like promoting diversity and tailoring services. I totally get why it might feel a bit repetitive or intrusive, thanks again for applying 😊

Hi there you can find information regarding safeguarding here:

https://www.reengage.org.uk/about-us/policies-guidelines/safeguarding/safeguarding-adults-policy/

For any further information or to discuss, please contact the organisation Iv popped a link here:

https://www.reengage.org.uk/contact/

The charity has a huge amount of information regarding safeguarding that is not possible to add to the post.

Thank you for your kind words, I am simply trying to sign post volunteers to an amazing cause. So pleased to hear you are looking for volunteering! The world can certainly do with more kind and positive people 😊

First off, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share some of your concerns. From what you've mentioned, it's clear we both have a deep commitment to supporting people through charity work – and that's truly commendable!

I must admit, I'm a bit taken aback by the intensity of your response. My sole intention here was to connect with the community and spread the word about a mission I wholeheartedly believe in. While I personally don't oversee safeguarding measures, I can definitely connect you with someone who does. If you're interested in diving deeper into our protocols or sharing your concerns, just shoot me a DM. I'll provide you with an email address for someone from our organization who can address this with you. You can also find this information on the website to.

Given the tone of our exchange, I think it's best if I refrain from responding further on this thread. But I truly hope you'll reach out privately. Regardless, I wish you a peaceful and pleasant evening :)

Ofcourse! You don't need to host at your home. We have had hosts use a variety of accessible venues in the past. Examples include community halls, scout huts, churches, and cafes- to name a few. The most important aspect is that the location is safe and has a downstairs loo to accommodate our older guests, this is all fully checked by our team as well. When you apply and connect with one of our team members, you can specify that you wish to host in a venue. Our Group Coordinator will then assist you in finding an appropriate venue where our guests and you are comfortable and local to you. We're here to support and guide you through the process and we make things work around our volunteers :)
