Volunteer
Volunteers are crucial to the work we do.
Without their generosity in donating their time and expertise, we would not be able to give the adults in later life of Norwich the opportunity to live healthy and active lives, and improve their quality of later life.
Why Volunteer? Volunteering is good for you. It makes you feel good. And if you feel good, you pass on your positive energy to those you are helping. Volunteering with us gives you the chance to:
- Learn new skills and enhance your CV
- Share your knowledge
- Stay active and involved
- Socialise and make new friends
- Meet people and learn from their life experience
- Above all, make a difference to people’s lives and your community
Who can volunteer? Almost anyone can be a volunteer. Most of our roles are for those 18 and over and we have a wide range of volunteering roles which suit different people and different skills. All of our volunteer roles are subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and we do ask for two references before you can start volunteering for us.
How much time do I need to give? No matter what your time commitment, interest or skills, we will have a role which would benefit from your support. Each role will say how much time is involved and we can be flexible and work around you and your committments.
How do I find out more? All our current roles are listed below.
