Become a group coordinator
As a volunteer group coordinator, you will set up or coordinate an activity group in your local area.You will coordinate activity-based groups for people aged 75 and over in community centres, pubs or church spaces. Groups will host between four and 15 activity guests, along with our volunteer drivers who pick up and drop off our activity guests.Activities can vary from chair fitness, dancing, yoga and boules to singing, Tai-Chi or coming up with your own activity to get people moving. Groups meet for around two hours on a monthly or fortnightly basis and activities must be inclusive for all activity guests.You will be required to complete a DBS check for this role, for which Re-engage will cover the cost.
Tasks include:
Setting up and coordinating a monthly or fortnightly activity group, with the support of Re-engage.
Contacting activity guests prior to each activity group.
Arranging the activities for the group. Activities must have an element of light physical activity.
Keeping in regular contact with your group of volunteers and sharing any updates from Re-engage that are relevant to them.

As one of our valued volunteers, you will receive training, support from Re-engage, and regular communications from the charity.
