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.
