I volunteer for a couple of hours monthly for Contact the Elderly as a driver, they have groups all over the UK. The charity sets up tea parties at a different hosts house for older guests and I drive one of the guests and stay for the tea. I've done this for 5 years now, I do enjoy it and because we are encouraging the older guests to share their stories I can disappear into the background if I want. If there is a time I can't manage it they have relief drivers to step in and take my place so there's no pressure.
