·
83% of older adults do not meet physical activity and muscle
strengthening recommendations
·
Individuals over the age of 65 are the
least active of any age group
Moving
is good for us, but statistics show us that as we get older, we become less
active.
Our
Ageing Well programme has been developed to support older adults to stay active
in later life. We deliver a wide range
of activities from walking and cycling to dancing and photography and all our
activities are either supported or led by volunteers who are all older adults
themselves!
Our
volunteers are the heart of our Ageing Well programme and were awarded with the
Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2018 in recognition of their outstanding
work.
We are looking
for someone to support this amazing group of people and ensure we have a team
of happy, enthusiastic volunteers who feel valued. You will be involved in all aspects of
volunteer management from recruitment and training to support and evaluation so
previous experience of managing volunteers will be advantageous.
You
should also have excellent communication and problem-solving skills and an
appetite for developing and inspiring others.
Our aim
is to inspire Edinburgh to be a more active and healthy city by creating
opportunities for everyone to move more. Be a part of this movement and apply
today!
