and live on Freeview channel 276
Later life brings change - retirement, adapting to changes in health or mobility, caring for others and finding new roles and interests. These changes can have a big impact on our lives and can be hard to manage. The Life Transitions Service will help people to prepare ahead of time and be better equipped and supported when life changes happen.
According to East Sussex County Council: “If you are a people person, like to help others and want to be part of an exciting new service, come and join our team. Our volunteers receive full training and ongoing support in how to help people have the best older age possible.”

These conversations will be practiced with fellow volunteers to build your confidence and skills. This also creates the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests as part of the Life Transitions Service team.
Requirements for the role include the ability to build positive, warm, supportive relationships with other people and be genuinely interested in them. The right person will be a good listener and encourage people to talk about what matters to them. You will also need to be comfortable hearing and talking about a range of topics about ageing and remaining supportive and non-judgemental.
