Volunteering At Age Concern Liverpool
Charities are all about people and we at Age Concern Liverpool are no exception. Our 420 volunteers come from all walks of life, varied ethnic backgrounds, from 18 to 80 and are representative of the communities we serve. They all have one aim, “to improve the quality of life for older people in Liverpool ”.
Our volunteers play a vital role in everything we do and we value their contribution and commitment. Without them, our charity could not make the tremendous difference it does to the lives of older people in Liverpool.
If you have a couple of hours or more a week to spare, look at our list of volunteering opportunities.
