The Moose in the Hoose
project currently needs more volunteers to help continue its ground
breaking work bringing the benefits of email and the internet to older
people living in care homes across Edinburgh. The project aims to reduce
social isolation and keep older people's minds active. To date Moose
volunteers have set up regular webcams with relatives overseas, promoted
reminiscence and life story books and found a huge number of other ways
to use the computer to enhance the lives of older people.
Can you help us?
-
Do you enjoy talking to
older people and hearing their life stories?
-
Do you have basic
computer skills and enjoy sharing them with others?
-
Can you be available 2-3
hours per week during the day, for at least a year?
-
Are you able to attend a
training course for a few hours per week, for 10 weeks to find out
more about the project and learn some new skills?
If you are over 18 years of
age and have said yes to all of the above, perhaps you could be a Moose
volunteer? We will need 2 references and an Enhanced Disclosure check to
be carried out. Want to know more or just have a chat?
Get in touch with the Moose
