Why volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and support the work we do in the community. Our volunteers are a key resource to Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire; without them we could not provide the services we do.
Who can volunteer?
Almost anyone can be a volunteer. We have a wide range of roles which suit different people and different skills. We need people to help with all aspects of the organisation, and that means there is something for everyone. If you want to become a volunteer we are willing to accept you regardless of age, gender, race, ability or health - everyone is welcome!
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.
