As we begin 2025, Age Concern Hampshire is reaching out to compassionate individuals eager to volunteer and support older people across the county.
With the ageing population rising, the needs of older people in our communities are greater than ever.
Your time, energy and skills can make a world of difference.
Volunteering with Age Concern Hampshire is about much more than just giving your time – it’s an opportunity for personal fulfilment, the chance to acquire new skills and the ability to build meaningful connections.

Many of our volunteers express this same sense of reward: "I was retired, and it was the right time for me. I was looking for something to do.
"I like helping and meeting people, especially older people, as I know from my experience how much they often need the help and support."
Another said: "It gives me a sense of purpose and a great feeling that I have achieved something positive and useful."
Another volunteer added: "I volunteer for Age Concern Hampshire because it's a charity close to my heart.
"Helping improve the lives of those in the community is incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
"I am a student between the times I volunteer and it's a nice way in my spare time to give back to the community."
We have a wide range of roles available to suit different interests, skills, and availability, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Whether you have a few hours to spare or can commit more regularly, we offer flexible opportunities that make it easy for you to get involved and make a real impact.
