Information for Volunteers
Age Connects is proud of its long history of providing volunteer support to older people. We have close to 200 amazing volunteers and we could not provide our services without their invaluable help. We always need:
Shoppers
Befrienders
Drivers
Cafe Staff
But we also have a wide range of other volunteering opportunities available. If you can commit to a minimum of 6 months and feel you could spare 1 or 2 hours a week to give your time to support an older person, we would love to hear from you.
