These include games, entertainment sessions and informative talks.

Kate Harrison, volunteer coordinator at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "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."

The activities create a supportive environment where individuals can share knowledge, experiences and mutual interests, all while building connections and developing new friendships to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
