volunteer to support older people who experience loneliness during the festive season.<br><br>Independent <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/2021\/11\/30\/a-local-charity-for-children-with-disabilities-returns-for-in-person-events-this-christmas-season\/\">charity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ageconnectscardiff.org.uk\/\">Age Connects<\/a> encourages volunteers to have a chat, drive around, take a stroll, watch a match or share a cup of coffee with older people to bring them joy at Christmas.<br><br>\u201cVolunteers often come up to us and tell us how they benefit from helping an older person,\u201d says Karen Fletcher, marketing and partnerships manager at the charity.<br><br>Contributors can choose to phone their older companions, drive them around to run errands, participate in outdoor activities with them or visit them at their homes for a one-on-one chat on a regular basis.<br><br>Over Christmas, volunteers can help out during lunches, tea parties and other celebrations.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Volunteers often come up to us and tell us how they benefit from helping an older person<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Volunteers are often introduced to clients based on shared interests. \u201cWe matched a student who loves rugby with a client who loves the sport too. They used to watch matches together,\u201d says Fletcher.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also says how these activities stave off feelings of isolation among older people and help them become a part of a larger community.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur youngest volunteer is a med student and the oldest is 92,\u201d she adds. All those who are 18 and older can undergo a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Services) check and training to register as a volunteer.<br><br>Half of the people in Wales who are 75 and over report feeling lonely sometimes. Meanwhile, more than one in 10 older people 60 and above say they are constantly lonely, according to Welsh government&#8217;s official data. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, why is loneliness such a problem in Cardiff?<br><br>Fletcher says, \u201cIt\u2019s not just in Wales and in older people. It\u2019s everywhere, if you ask me. I guess the way our interpersonal relationships have changed &#8211; people prefer talking on the phone rather than going to see their friends, that\u2019s the problem.\u201d<br><br><a href=\"http:\/\/Sign up to volunteer here.\">Sign up to volunteer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\"><br><b>YOU CAN VOLUNTEER HERE TOO<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are volunteering opportunities<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> within Cardiff hubs and libraries <\/span>including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hub duties<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<li>Library duties<\/li>\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digital support<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Job club<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adult learning<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Community based activity<\/span><br><\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact details: <\/strong><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br>Telephone number: 029 20871071 <br>Email address: volunteer@cardiff.gov.uk<br><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Help an older person tackle loneliness by phoning them, buying groceries or just decorating their home this holiday season\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":926,"featured_media":64654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,6],"tags":[7869,7867,7866],"coauthors":[7744],"class_list":["post-64653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-active-home","category-active-life","tag-cardiff-volunteer","tag-volunteer-in-cardiff","tag-voluteer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
