Whether performing an active role in their communities, increasing awareness, campaigning for change, or raising funds, volunteers play an essential role in increasing our impact.

Our volunteers work in collaboration with our employees, bringing their skills, experience, passion and expertise to all areas of our work.

We appreciate, support and celebrate our volunteers for their diversity and creativity. Our volunteers increase our capacity and impact, enabling us to ensure that more people can grow old well, with dignity, choice and purpose.

By working with our volunteers, we increase our reach and impact in a wider range of communities across the UK.

As an Independent Age volunteer, you will:

  • Help Independent Age to fulfil our mission and vision – we couldn’t deliver our services without the support of our brilliant volunteers. 
  • Have an opportunity to utilise your skills, knowledge and experiences, as well as learn and develop new ones. 
  • Make a meaningful difference in the lives of older people. 
  • Have an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. 
  • Support your local community. 
  • Receive relevant training for your role and access to ongoing support, development opportunities and helpful resources.
