Volunteer Opportunities 

At Pensioners Link, we are extremely lucky and appreciative of our team of brilliant volunteers. We have over 50 volunteers working across the borough, helping us deliver our activities and services. ​Without our volunteer support, Pensioners Link would not exist.
 

​All of our volunteers receive full training and support. We have regular meetings with guest speakers and there are often social events that take place. Volunteering can be extremely rewarding and enjoyable - and a great way to use your skills and experience.

Why Do You Volunteer?

Sue

Volunteering is FABULOUS, so rewarding. I have made many friends who really appreciate all I do for them

Edith

It helps to know that there are people out there who benefit from a fifteen-minute phone call. You know that they are smiling to hear from you

Alan

It falls into to my timescale now that I have retired. I have the opportunity to enhance my skills and develop new ones, to share experiences with other volunteers

Cathy

Satisfaction, sharing stories, bringing mutual joy of reading to people who may miss out
