Digital volunteers may be supporting sessions in the community and online sessions so ideally you should have access to your own smart phone, laptop or tablet and access to the internet at home. All activities are delivered by a member of the AFS team so you will always be fully supported.

Online activity volunteer
Our online activity volunteers provide support for our online activity from their own home. This role helps a member of the AFS team deliver the activity and encourage people to take part in wellbeing conversations. For this volunteering role you will need access to your own smart phone, laptop or tablet and access to the internet at home.

Wellbeing Conversation Facilitator
Can you make a difference to older people's wellbeing in Salford? All you have to do is have wellbeing conversations with older people aged 50 and above with people you know in Salford.
This is not a formal volunteering opportunity as you undertake your conversations when you wish in your own time. We just ask that you watch a short six min wellbeing conversation training film at: http://bit.ly/WellbeingConvo then register with us on one of our 1 hour zoom wellbeing training sessions. You will also receive a support booklet providing you with resources, techniques and tips on how to have a successful wellbeing conversation. A month after the training session you will be invited to an informal catch up with others to share your experiences of wellbeing conversations.

Volunteer Wellbeing Champions
Volunteer Wellbeing Champions can choose to volunteer on a number of projects including Digital, Community, Online Activity and Age Friendly Standards Assessor (55+) to increase older people's wellbeing. These projects are part of Age Friendly Salford. More details about each one follow:

Community volunteering involves supporting one of our weekly Wellbeing Brew & Chat events at different Gateways e.g. Eccles, Swinton, & Pendleton, wellbeing chats at one of our weekly Walk & Talk events etc.

We currently have a small team of older people trained to carry out assessments. If you are an older person and would like to join the team you can sign up to become an Age Friendly Standards volunteer assessor. Learn about Salford’s Age Friendly Standards and be supported to understand and carry out assessments.
