Volunteering

Our volunteers bring a wide range of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives helping to strengthen the support we provide to older people and unpaid carers. From offering a friendly face or listening ear, to sharing your skills and experience, there are plenty of ways to get involved.

What are we looking for?

We are always looking for friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to join our team and help us work towards a fairer later life across Oxfordshire.

Our roles are flexible in terms of time and are available across the whole of Oxfordshire.

We know that caring responsibilities, health conditions, transport, work and other commitments can sometimes make volunteering more difficult. Our opportunities vary, and we’ll work with you to find a role that fits your circumstances.

Everyone has something to offer

We believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute. We actively welcome people of all backgrounds, identities and life experiences, including people from ethnically diverse communities, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and people with lived experience of loneliness, caring responsibilities or community support.
