Become a Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of Age UK East Grinstead, and without them, we simply couldn’t provide the vital services, help and support that older people rely on when they need it most. Volunteering with us makes a real difference—not just in the lives of others, but in your own too. With a variety of volunteering roles available, there’s something to suit everyone. Whether you’ve got a few hours a week or more time to give, we’d love to hear from you. Call us on 01342 327046 or email enq@ageukeastgrinstead.org.uk to find out more—we can’t wait to welcome you to the Age UK East Grinstead volunteering family!
