Get involved
Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at Shine On.
They play a crucial role in transforming loneliness into meaningful connections, concerns into solutions, raising our profile, and even helping to raise vital funds that support our services.

Our volunteer Befrienders offer a friendly face to older people who may be housebound and lonely or don’t have family or friends nearby.
Our Befrienders might accompany the client on, for example, shopping trips or to a local café, or meet up in the client’s home. We offer all of our Befrienders full training and support.
Silver Lining Social offers older people a warm, friendly environment with some activities and a nice lunch. We are looking for volunteers to join our team of hosts, to chat with people and make them feel welcome, and help serve lunch and refreshments.
We want as many people as possible to know about our services. If you have spare time each month to distribute our leaflets and posters to community centres, GP surgeries etc around the east of Newcastle, we’d love to hear from you.
We always need people to join our friendly team of volunteers at our community launderette in Shieldfield. You can volunteer as little or as much as suits you!
