Supporting, empowering and improving the lives of older people in Southend.

Volunteering with Age Concern.

STEP UP! VOLUNTEER FOR AGE CONCERN.

We couldn’t do any of the work we do without the continued support from our family of volunteers.

They work alongside our staff to help to befriend older people in the community, provide support at our events, assist clients at our specialist day service for people with dementia and keep the cogs of our charity turning by helping us with admin and fundraising. Together, we are the Age Concern Workforce.

Please note, we welcome and thankyou for Volunteering Referrals from other Organisations.

As a Volunteer, you will need to sign a Volunteer Agreement and some roles are subject to a
DBS check organised by us. You will be provided with a Volunteer Induction Pack when you join us.
