Help your local community!

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and help deliver the work we do in Hertfordshire.

If you have an hour to spare each week and would like to help us make later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for older local people, please contact Margaret

We welcome a diverse range of volunteers from all backgrounds, abilities and ages. If you have some spare time and would like to make a difference to older people in the community then we would love to hear from you! Many activities that we run would not be possible without the support of our volunteers.
