Volunteers

Friends of North Argyll House

A big part of what we do here is to celebrate our residents’ individuality and give them the encouragement and support they need to cultivate their hobbies and interests.

As part of that, we have established a volunteer programme that invites members of the local community into our home. Our ‘friends’ give whatever time they can to help with such activities, and to help keep our residents doing what they love.

Meaningful activities

Hobbies and interests are a powerful way to keep bodies fit and healthy, and minds sharp and stimulated. In our home, this can be anything from gardening, to knitting, to card games, even simple aerobics or exercises.

These activities are a way, not just to keep our residents entertained, but to help them express their personalities, to bolster their independence, and to allow them to build relationships. And most importantly of all, they are great way of putting smiles on faces.
