We are looking for volunteers with a variety of talents to support our tenants to feel less isolated and give them some pleasure and entertainment.One Manchester offers a number of retirement Happy Living Communities across South and East Manchester. There are self-contained flats for single people or couples with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, gas central heating and fully fitted kitchens.
Our aim is to create a place where residents can live independently but have the peace of mind of an on-site scheme manager and warden call system. The scheme also benefits from having a shared community room to give residents the opportunity to meet and interact with one another.
If you have a talent such as singing, playing an instrument or a passion for entertaining. Or are you just outgoing and have the confidence to be a quiz master or bingo caller we want to hear from you.
We are looking for people to provide a range of activities for our tenants you can decide with the tenants different activities they would like to do on a weekly basis or use your own talents
We are open to suggestions and ideas and welcome your own thoughts on engaging activities.
