Volunteer
Our mission is to make Scotland the best place in the world to grow older, and our wonderful volunteers play a vital role in that.
Volunteers complement the work of our employees, enabling us to reach and support more older people in Scotland.
We believe that our volunteers should find their experience rewarding. Volunteering can result in learning new skills or developing existing ones, meeting new people, and making a real difference to older people.
From volunteering on our Friendship Line and helping with fundraising, to supporting with research and admin, we have a number of exciting volunteering opportunities where you can truly make a difference.
If you're not too sure which volunteering role is right for you, why not consider Micro Volunteering to get you started, or complete a volunteer enquiry form and we'll arrange an informal chat.
