Volunteer with us
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Age UK Bristol. We are so thankful for all of the time, support and dedication volunteers give to our services.
** We have decided to pause our volunteer recruitment until January 2025. **
Below are some of the types of roles that we have for volunteers. Please check back in January 2025 to see what is open for recruitment.
Here is a qoute from one of our current volunteers. "I have been made to feel really welcome and my suggestions and thoughts have been listened to and actioned if useful. This makes me feel like I'm making a real difference."

FAB Cafe Host
The Friends Ageing Better (FAB) community network is looking for hosts for its FAB cafés around Bristol.
We are especially looking for a host at our LGBT+ cafe on Thursday mornings, 10-12pm, at St Werburgh's Community Centre.
In this volunteer role, you’ll be part of creating vibrant, welcoming community spaces that build relationships and connect people with activities in their local community.

FAB Phone Café Host
Our FAB Phone Café is for older people who find it difficult to meet in person, which helps to break down isolation and enables people to participate in a meaningful group experience. We are looking for a friendly, chatty volunteer to host the sessions, just like an in person café.
