British Red Cross Next Steps Scheme
The British Red Cross are well known for their overseas aid work in disaster areas or war zones, but they also support individuals in crisis in the UK, supporting them until the crisis is past and helping them recover. Often this is in relation to health and wellbeing problems. They’re looking for volunteers to get involved with their “Next Steps” scheme. Returning home from hospital can be difficult, particularly if you live alone. The Next Steps scheme trains volunteers to help people who have just visited the A&E department at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital– whether they’ve visited because of a broken leg, age-related illnesses or long-term mental health problems. They’re looking for reliable, flexible, friendly volunteers who can talk to people and put them at their ease, and who have a genuine interest in health care. Volunteers will:
· Accompany people home from hospital and provide reassurance
· Befriend them and keep them company
· Provide basic support like shopping or cooking meals
· Assist with basic medical needs, reminding people to take their medication or help administer eye drops
· Listen to people’s needs and refer them to other services if necessary, like libraries, day centres or leisure activities.
When: any time (morning, afternoon or early evening), any day of the week (volunteers put themselves on a rota to be “on call”)
Where: in individual’s homes in the Chelsea and Westminster area
