Volunteering

Can you help us?

We rely on volunteers to assist with and provide the services and facilities that we offer to the older people in our area. Can you help us to help more of our local residents by being a volunteer?

We can offer training and support to you and assist with your expenses while you are helping to make a difference to the quality of life of older residents in the Borough. We will ask you to complete an application form and to supply two personal references. You will also be asked to complete a simple form for a Crimninal Records Bureau (CRB) check.
