We’re excited to be growing our community social groups – and we’d love you to be part of it.
Volunteers play an essential role in making these groups lively, welcoming, and supportive spaces where friendships can blossom.
If you’re looking for a rewarding way to give back, we’d love to hear from you.
We're looking for friendly faces to join us across Basingstoke, Overton, Whitchurch, Kingsclere, Fordingbridge, Totton, and Ringwood.
Whether you’re an experienced volunteer or trying it for the first time, you’ll be making a real difference.

Our social groups offer a fantastic mix of activities designed to get people moving, connecting, and enjoying life.
Each week, there’s a lively variety of games, entertainment, and talks – creating a fun, supportive environment where people can share stories, make friends, and boost their health and wellbeing.
Kate Harrison, the volunteer coordinator at Age Concern Hampshire, emphasised the importance of volunteers to the success of their new social groups.
She stated: "Volunteers are essential in leading activities, offering companionship, and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for participants.
"We encourage anyone eager to make a positive difference to consider joining our volunteer team."
In addition to our social group roles, we also have a wide range of other volunteering opportunities.
Whether you can spare just a few hours or commit more regularly, there’s something for everyone.
You could help older people as they transition from hospital stays back to life at home, assist at our Care and Wellbeing Centres by offering activities and companionship, support older adults with completing important paperwork and forms, or provide advice and guidance about available services.
At Age Concern Hampshire, volunteers are a crucial part of what we do.
They bring their skills, time, and commitment to support a wide range of activities and services, both in-person and remotely.
Whether helping with administrative tasks, offering advice, or providing companionship, volunteers ensure that older adults in our community have access to the support they need.
If you’re thinking about volunteering, we would be pleased to have you join our team.
Your contribution will make a real impact, and we look forward to welcoming you.
For more information or to get involved, please don’t hesitate to call us on 01962 868545.
Sarah Jacobs, the marketing manager at Age Concern Hampshire, is dedicated to raising awareness and improving support for older people across Hampshire.
