Volunteers

Over 50,000 people volunteer with Age Concern, across the country. That is about five volunteers for every paid member of staff. More than half of these volunteers are aged 50 years and over. Despite these numbers, we still need more people to offer us their time, skills, knowledge and experience to help support our work.
There are many health and social benefits to getting involved in your community.
