Become a Time Traveller with Age Concern

Could you spare the time to share your gardening skills and passion with children? Are you aged 55 or over? Why not become a Time Traveller?

Time Travellers are volunteers aged 55 or over who dedicate a few hours a week helping children at school. Recently we have had a number of requests for volunteers who are willing to assist with the school garden and gardening clubs.

Time Travellers also have the opportunity to enjoy a range of social activities in addition to the time they spend in school. An Age Concern Hillingdon Coordinator arranges regular meetings and past activities have included a trip to the theatre, a guided tour of Harrow School and plenty of meals out. To find out more information phone Sarah Millen - Time Travellers Coordinator on 01895 452666.
