Salford CVS and Inspiring Communities Together are working in partnership to develop and deliver a volunteering and older people project as part of the Salford Together initiative
Salford Together is an alliance between Salford City Council, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, Salford Clinical Commissioning Group, and Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. The alliance has developed an Integrated Care Programme for Older People in Salford. Part of this plan involves mapping and developing `Communities as Assets` and is where Salford CVS, Inspiring Communities Together and other key players, for example, Age UK Salford, are working to deliver. Community Assets, which include people and places, can bring great social value and improved wellbeing to communities.
The Volunteering and Older People Project aims to engage and involve older people to reduce isolation and improve quality of life. The project will develop a wide range of volunteering opportunities of relevance to older people, and will support voluntary and community groups to recruit and retain older people as volunteers. The project will also support volunteers of all ages for projects focusing on the needs of older people.
If you are an older person, or a group or organisation involved with older people, and would like support with volunteering, please contact us on 0161 787 7795 email: together@salfordcvs.co.uk
