Volunteering
Volunteer effort is absolutely essential to Age Connects Neath Port Talbot, and we are currently supported by a fantastic team of approximately 50 volunteers. Our diverse volunteer team work directly with older people, provide administrative support and/or help with community fundraising.
Each year, our volunteers commit an average of 10,000 hours of their time, skills and expertise to improve the lives of local older people. This volunteer commitment has an annual economic value of over £125,000 each year and enables us to continue to provide a wide range of free and accessible services.
Can you help?
Volunteering can develop new skills, increase confidence, self-esteem and well-being, and is a great way to help form new friendships. You may want to give something back to your local community, gain valuable work experience, or maybe just want to be more socially and physically active.
“Through volunteering, I really feel like I’m doing something worthwhile. It’s fun, keeps me active and has really boosted my confidence”
“I enjoy the time that I’m out with the service users. Hearing their stories and life experiences is fantastic and learning about their lives enriches mine.
“I retired from work and instead of loving having the extra time I found that I was extremely bored. Volunteering has helped me to remain active and provided the companionship that I was looking for”
If you have any spare time and would like to volunteer, call us today to find out about our exciting volunteering opportunities in your area. No qualifications are required and a range of support and/or training is provided.
With your involvement we can improve the quality of life
and help maintain the independence of even more local older people
