Get Involved

Volunteer with us and make a big difference

You can volunteer in a variety of ways, giving as little or as much time as you like.

We currently have a high demand for volunteers to befriend care home residents across
the Borough of Richmond, on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire and West Sussex.

You can also use your talents to bring joy through crafts or nature, and support with admin or other professional skills.

Area Based Roles

If you live near one of our area-wide projects, there's a rich variety of ways you can get involved in bringing joy to older care home residents in your community. Please visit your local page via the buttons below for a list of opportunities, together with full role descriptions and details of your local area co-ordinator.

Non-Geographic / Home Based Roles

You can also make a big difference to the older people we support, wherever you live, through our non-geographic volunteering opportunities.

For example, craft-lovers from across the country are making beautiful handmade cards and gifts for care home residents during the year and at Christmas to bring the residents joy and show them that someone is thinking of them. Our creative volunteers have so far knitted, crocheted and sewn colourful sensory aquariums, walker frame bags, capes, blankets, fingerless mittens, craft spring flowers, toys including woodland creatures and much more.

You can find out more about how you can get involved from the role descriptions below, including relevant contact details if you have any questions.
