Call for volunteers

Could you help by giving back your free time to change an older person’s life?

Age UK Worcester & Malvern Hills relies on the support of its volunteers from across Worcestershire. Without the selfless acts of these general public volunteers, we would not be able to operate in the way we do today. Our volunteers not only help provide crucial funding for the charity, but also work directly with a lot of our clients to provide lifelines through our services and social activities.

We are especially looking for volunteers to help us to continue to provide our Dementia Meeting Centres for older people across Worcester & Malvern Hills. The centres provide a lifeline for many people living with dementia, their families, and their carers. With your voluntary support, you will be helping keep our centres open and continue to put the smiles back on the faces of people living with dementia.

Volunteering does not have to be a chore. It can be an avenue for people to explore their interests, extend their skillset, give back to their local community and achieve a sense of purpose. With our award-winning mentor, Kirsty Hughes, it is a great way for students and other young people to get experience of the workplace; perhaps for their personal goals or as part of their study. It is also great for those who are retired or perhaps those who are feeling lonely at home. Helping get you out and about and socialising with others alike.

Clare Thomas, CEO of Age UK Worcester & Malvern Hills, says,

“Our volunteers are hugely important in the day-to-day operation of the charity. Without them, we simply would not be able to run many of the services and activities that we do today. We have numerous volunteers that selflessly give their time to support our clients and they have all profited from the experience. Volunteering does not have to be a major commitment, even just a couple of hours a week is enough to make a difference.”

You can easily apply to become a volunteer of ours in-store, by phone or online. We require a short application form to be completed, along with two references, in order to be accepted.
