Why volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and support the work we do in the community. We offer a range of services to support older people to live independent, enjoyable and fulfilling lives. And the skills, time and energy of our volunteers is vital in helping us do this.
Who can volunteer?
We have a wide range of roles which suit different people and different skills. We also have employee volunteering opportunities.
How much time do I need to give?
It depends on the volunteer role you are interested in. Some people give an hour a week, other people do more. If you can’t commit to volunteering on a regular basis maybe you could support us occasionally by helping out at one of our fundraisers or events? This could include anything from selling raffle tickets to shaking a collection tin.
Or perhaps you could organise a one-off fundraiser of your own, something you’d really enjoy doing. Find out more about fundraising for us or email Sassaka Amena.
