Volunteers

The work of our volunteers had a considerable impact on the lives of older people in 2022. As our services have grown, volunteers have supported and enhanced our work in a wide range of areas such as age-inclusive workplaces, friendship, fundraising and retail.

We have been able to increase the volunteering opportunities in our friendship line and are incredibly grateful to corporate partners who have created opportunities for their staff to play a key role in our work.

We are incredibly proud and grateful for the amazing contribution our volunteers have made in 2022.

It is very rewarding. The people we call are so appreciative but I get a lot from it too. And the people are so interesting.
