Community Information Volunteers
Age Concern Hampshire’s Community Information Volunteers (previously known as Village Agents), help people – and their family, friends and carers – find the information and support they need to stay living safely and independently.
· Find – Provide information on a range of topics, such as finding help to manage around the home, social activities locally or what government help someone may be eligible for.
· Help – Get to know the local charities and support groups working in the area and can help put people in touch with the right help at the right time.
· Connect – Provide a bit of tailored support to help a person to get connected to the service they need. This may be making a phone call, filling in a form on their behalf or making first introductions to a group.
Examples include: reviewing benefit eligibility; completing forms, such as Attendance Allowance and Blue Badge; locating tradespeople for your home and garden; finding transport; signposting to home services, such as cleaners and meal delivery, and much more.
