Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community and make a difference in people's lives. Without the help and support of our incredible volunteers, we would not be able to help as many people as we do. 

We have a variety of voluntary roles at Age UK Norfolk which can be carried out from home, our office, or in the community and all our volunteers are offered full training and receive ongoing support and advice from our volunteer management team. So, whatever your talents, interests, and goals, we’re bound to have an opportunity where you can you share your knowledge, make new friends and have fun!

If you have the time, no matter how little, there are many ways in which you can get involved, and we look forward to welcoming you to Team Age UK Norfolk.

Advocacy Volunteer Roles

Advocacy volunteers help older people to voice their concerns and assert their rights. They support the older person by providing information, practical help with phone calls, letters and face-to-face interviews. Our advocates are also able to support with some light touch Digital Incluson support. Our dedicated Money Matters volunteers help an older person to manage their finances so they can remain independent for as long as possible.

Companionship Volunteer Roles

There are estimated to be 38,000 lonely older people in the county over 65 years of age and statistics show that loneliness can be just as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Many older people don’t have the confidence (or the friends and family to accompany them) to take a short walk down the road or to their local shops which most of us take for granted.

Our Befriending volunteers make a huge impact by providing a friendly weekly call to an older person/people in Norfolk. Sometimes our volunteers are the only people the older people talk to all week. You could also make a real difference to someone’s life, give them something to look forward to and help them achieve their goals by becoming a Travelling Companionship volunteer.
