Volunteering isn't just good for the community. It's good for you, too.

Whether you can spare a few hours a week or just want to give back when you can, volunteering with us is a chance to connect with others, build confidence, and make a real difference in the lives of older people. From our shops and befriending to community centres and customer services, there’s a place for everyone. Join us and help make East Sussex a kinder, more connected place to grow older.

Your support helps us offer expert advice, emotional support, and a friendly voice when it’s needed most.

Even a small gift can make a big difference.

Move More, Feel Better

Staying active doesn’t mean hitting the gym - it’s about finding simple, enjoyable ways to move more in your everyday life. Whether you're stretching at home, walking to the shops, or joining a local class at The Isabel Blackman Centre, even small steps can boost your health, mood, and confidence.

This helpful guide covers:

  • Easy ways to get started, even if you’re new to exercise
  • Simple strength-building activities to stay mobile and independent
  • Local clubs and activities

Discover how moving more can help you feel better, stay connected, and enjoy life to the fullest.
