Volunteering

Volunteers play a vital role in the work of Bell View. We currently have over 50 volunteers and without their enthusiasm and support we would not be able to offer such a comprehensive range of services.

Volunteers support our work in the following areas:

The Hub community cafe: helping to serve tea and coffee, light lunches and cakes. No cooking required!

Community transport: Volunteers drive our community transport, taking older people out and about to appointments or bringing them to Bell View.

Gardening: Volunteers help in our 'potting shed' garden, growing fruit and vegetables and also with our therapy garden.

Home Support scheme: Short term help is offered to older people in thier own homes - a friendly face popping in to check everything is OK.

Luncheon clubs and coffee breaks: Volunteers help with the sessions in Belford, Seahouses and Glanton.

Fundraising events: We hold regular events throughout the year and volunteers help with selling raffle tickets, running stalls, serving refreshments.

Reception and administration: Volunteers help with tasks such as photocopying, collating monitoring figures, filing, answering the phone.

Meals on Wheels: Using their own transport, volunteers deliver hot meals to people in their own homes.
