Why volunteer?
While making a difference to older people in your local community, volunteering will enable you to learn new skills, gain confidence and experience, make new friends and connect with others.
Who can volunteer?
Almost anyone can be a volunteer. We have a wide range of roles which suit different people and different skills.
How much time do I need to give?
We have a variety of different volunteer roles from regular weekly community activities to more flexible roles where you will mutually agree with our Service Managers when you are able to provide the support. Some of our volunteers give an hour a week, some give more and others only support our one off events.
Please note all volunteer opportunities take place between Monday - Friday 8.30am - 4.30pm to ensure a member of staff is always available to provide support if needed.

Take part in a fundraiser
Could you help us to raise vital funds by taking part in a fundraising event? We have regular events such as sponsored walks, but you could also do your own fundraiser like a cake sale.

Get your colleagues involved
Could you talk to your colleagues or your employer about how you can support us? We have lots of ideas for how organisations can get involved, including sponsoring an event, making us Charity of the Year, or donating equipment.
