We are currently recruiting volunteers to support our Creative Conversations project, which provides isolated older people with a series of Creative phone sessions with a creative artist over a 10 week period.


The volunteer role is one of introduction call, support and follow up every other week, during which they find out how the participant is and any feedback from their Creative session with the artist. This is then recorded on an online form, which is shared between the volunteer and creative artist.


The commitment is about 30 minutes every other week per participant over the 10 week period. The volunteer is paired with the same artist for the full 10 weeks.


Volunteers have training and a starter pack to support their phone calls, including how to ‘hide’ your phone number for safeguarding and any support from the CAW team needed.


Doing these calls has made me a better person – really wonderful. Thank you for this opportunity.
