Volunteer with us
Together, let's make East Sussex smile.
Whether you’re looking to give back after retirement, build experience while studying, or meet new people, volunteering with us offers something meaningful.
From helping in our charity shops to restoring furniture, to supporting someone returning home from hospital - there are lots of ways to get involved.
You don’t need loads of time or special skills, just a willingness to help. Whatever your background, your time can make a difference.

Retail Volunteers
Our shop volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Their dedication keeps our shops thriving and the income they help generate goes directly toward funding essential services for older people across East Sussex.
If you enjoy meeting people, working as part of a friendly team, and giving back to your community, volunteering in one of our shops could be a perfect fit.

Befriending
As we get older, we may find we spend more time on our own. This can sometimes feel lonely, boring or make us miss friends or family.
If you or someone you know is missing the joy of regular conversation, Age UK East Sussex can help. Our Befriending service matches you with a telephone friend for weekly phone calls at a scheduled time.
