Would you like to spend time with our residents within our residential and nursing homes in Penarth.?

As a Befriender/Activity Volunteer you would chat/befriend on a 1-1 basis with the resident.  You could also read out articles in the daily newspaper, play board games or just spend some time in general conversation.  We have a piano, so anyone musical can also get involved.
