We are able to provide the services we do at Age Concern Bexley because we have a large, committed workforce of volunteers. Volunteering with us is fun, challenging and exciting. You make friends, develop new skills and help a lot of older people.
Volunteers work in almost all our services so we can offer the opportunity to assist in a variety of ways and ensuring a wide range of skills and knowledge.
We meet all our volunteers to discuss what they want from volunteering so they get the most out of their donation of time and energy. No matter how much time you have to offer we can find a role for you. |
