Volunteer Telford

Are you qualified, knowledgeable or experienced on a particular topic? Would you be willing to share your expertise with our staff or customers?

Topics might include mental health, substance misuse, anxiety, first aid, professional boundaries etc.

If you could run a session or workshop on any of the above topics or perhaps a different topic that you feel might be of benefit then please get in touch.

Our event crew play an essential part in making sure our events and activities run smoothly and that all participants and supporters have fantastic experiences.

You can get stuck in setting up and stewarding events like the iconic Dragon Boat Festival, dramatic Fire and Ice Challenge and the poignant Lights of Love service – all of which help us generate vital funds to support our care services.

There are so many exciting opportunities to get involved from welcoming and registering participants, car parking, marshalling a route to handing out medals or running a merchandise stall.

It’s also a brilliant way to volunteer on an ad-hoc basis and can fit around busy lives. 

Our Telephone Chat Scheme supports people over 50 who may be struggling with loneliness and/or isolation.

The role is involves working from our home, calling clients once or more times a week at agreed times, to chat, listen and check that they’re coping OK.

Our weekly day centres in Telford take place in local community venues and provide transport, activities, a two course hot lunch and friendship for local older people. They are all run by volunteers with the support of an Age UK Coordinator.

We are looking for volunteers to join our existing teams to help set up the room, greet members with a warm welcome, prepare and serve refreshments, wash up and help with a range of social activities and tidy up at the end of day.
