About

Care Now works with Cornish care homes to create volunteering opportunities for local people, visit our website!

During the pandemic there had been an unprecedented demand on Care Home staff, which has been compounded with the inability to recruit sufficient staff to ensure that it is safe to admit to empty beds. 

The NHS in Cornwall cannot function if its social care partners are facing such challenging times and have therefore proposed to set up a volunteer organisation.

CareNow has been created as a single point of access where people who are volunteering specifically to work in a care home can volunteer, can receive training and be deployed to care homes across The Duchy.

Mission & Values

Our vision is to help and support our providers of care across Cornwall

Our mission is to enable volunteers into this sector to make a difference, putting the health and wellbeing of residents and older people at the heart of care.

We hope to provide opportunities to individuals to engage in various Care Home related activities, where they can offer their skills and time to build strong relationships with the residents, bringing the community into the care home. You will have the opportunity to take on a challenge and learn new skills, meet people and make a difference.
