Volunteering in the Third Age (VITA) |
1.
Advice NI is a charitable organisation that helps people access their rights and entitlements. We provide a range of services related to older people and work with Age NI and A2B to develop and deliver these. This questionnaire is about volunteering opportunities in two of our projects.
- Rights 4 Seniors' website (soon to be released), an essential rights reference for people in later life
- Advantage, a course for people who wish to specialize in older people's issues and entitlements (in areas such as Health, Pensions and Benefits)
We are keen to engage with older people who can help us develop and deliver these services so that as many older people as possible can benefit from them.
As part of this work, we are carrying out a survey of older people who are 55 years of age and above. We would like to get a sense of your attitudes towards volunteering in later life. You may be able to tell us about any experience of volunteering you have had. Also, we would like to know if there are areas or training within our projects that would be of interest to you - you may be able to help us with challenging and rewarding volunteering opportunities in the near future.
