Volunteering

We help and support many older and isolated citizens of Sunderland and the surrounding areas.

You can choose to help with any of the following projects, we are always in need of more volunteers.

Community Support Clubs
Advocacy
Living Well Link volunteers supporting local people in communities
Social Focus
Face to Face Befriending
Telephone Befriending
Friends and Neighbours Sunderland (FaNs) project working with residential homes visiting local residents

We have over 250 volunteers helping with all our projects and they get as much out of it as the people they help so come along and join us.

Why volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and support the work we do in the community.

Who can volunteer?
Almost anyone over the age of 16 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?
It depends on the volunteer role you are interested in. Some people give an hour a week, other people do more.

If you have an hour or so to spare each week and would like to do something for the older generation, please download and complete the volunteers referral form below and return it us.
