welcome to the young volunteers website
The Age UK IW Good Neighbour Scheme has been established to assist older people who have no family or friends on the Island to turn to for help. Volunteers improve an individuals quality of life through helping with simple tasks, and being a reliable and friendly person. Our Young Volunteers work within the Good Neighbour Scheme.
Aimed at those within the 16-18 bracket, the Young Volunteer Scheme aims to reduce the isolation and loneliness of older people whilst giving young people a structured volunteering opportunity. There are a wide range of reasons why a Young Person would want to volunteer, but whatever their motivation - other benefits often emerge such as an increase in self-confidence and feeling part of a team.
