Digital Friend Volunteer, Epping Forest

Salary: This is a voluntary role for which there is no remuneration

Become a Digital Friend Volunteer and help open up the online world for older adults who are homebound or feeling isolated.

Many people aged 60+ are missing out on the opportunities that come with being online, but with your support, we can change that. As a volunteer with Age Well East, you’ll help older clients build essential digital skills: turning on a laptop, adjusting settings, browsing the internet, booking appointments, shopping online, and enjoying video calls with family and friends.

You don’t need to be a technical expert. What matters most is your ability to listen, be patient and kind, and enjoy helping others grow in confidence.

• Full training to help you feel confident in your role
• A dedicated Friendship Coordinator to support you throughout your volunteering journey
• All DBS checks arranged and paid for by Age Well East

• Willing to provide two character references
• Enhanced DBS check (fully covered by Age Well East)

We’d love to hear from you if you’d like to make a positive, lasting impact.
