There are many elderly people in Erdingford who live on their own and find it difficult to go out and to look after themselves. Yet most of them love their homes and want to go on living in them as long as possible. Helping Hand is a registered charity that helps such people to live independent lives in their own home environments. But our work______ volunteers, many of them young people, who visit our clients and help them with the activities of daily living, or just provide some friendly company for an hour or so.

Some of the elderly clients we help have failing eyesight and often they like to be read to. Others just enjoy an opportunity for some friendly conversation or playing a______ such as cards or chess.

What you do for your client is discussed and______ by you, your Volunteer Support Officer, and the person you are helping. You will not be asked to do anything you are not happy to do. A Helping Hand volunteer can be a trusted link with the ‘outside world’, helping to keep our senior citizens independent. But it’s not a one-sided benefit: volunteers learn so much from their clients’ experience of life as well as gaining new skills by taking on the______ of caring role. As Roy (18) said:

I thought voluntary work would be a matter of doing little jobs for an old person I didn’t know, and then feeling_____ myself because I’d done something good. But it wasn’t really like that. It was more like a friendship: I learnt so much from Margaret about her generation, how things were in the past, and about life itself. And she seemed to take me______ , and to listen to what I had to say.
