NEEDED! Volunteers Winter 2021-22 by Caraway. 

As a Christian charity, supporting older people at home, in the community, and in residential care, across Southampton. Caraway aims to promote and resource the spiritual well-being of those in their older years.

Our work as a charity is reliant on the generous gifts time our volunteers give, we really appreciate support in this way…

Working in partnership with churches and the health and social sectors, for those with and without faith in Southampton and beyond.

Supporting those at home, in the community and in residential care, is at the heart of the Caraway ethos.  This is particularly true, when addressing the needs of those who are lonely, socially isolated or living with dementia.

We have a fantastic team of volunteers from across Southampton, which we are always looking to grow. Maybe you feel a deep sense of compassion for older people and would just like to find out more about the scope of the work of Caraway and experience different aspects of Older People’s Chaplaincy.
