Volunteering Opportunities

These are exciting times at Age Concern Sheffield and volunteers are an integral part of our future plans:

• Volunteers, in their diversity of age, experience, cultural background and their involvements within communities, bring to our work a value that adds to our understanding of and response to older people's needs.
• Through their involvement we contribute to the building and support of active and sustainable communities based on social justice and mutual respect.
• The development and support of vibrant community networks and individuals within them is vital to the well being of older people.
• We work more effectively with and on behalf of older people by providing opportunities for local people to use their skills, knowledge and experience through volunteering.
• Volunteers, who reflect the diversity of Sheffield's communities, bring an enhanced perspective, which adds value to our work.
• People of all ages care about and want the opportunity to contribute to making later life a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience for everyone.
• Older people with whom we work value the involvement of volunteers.
• By involving volunteers we can offer opportunities for genuine involvement, learning and development for individuals.
• Without the contribution of volunteers, we would only be able to achieve a small percentage of our work with and for older people.
