Due To Our Recent Volunteer Call
All Volunteering Positions Are Currently Filled

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 Project Manager,
Terry Blair, on 0131 477 3883
terry@aceit.org.uk 
...and she will get back in touch soon. Thanks!
