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.  

Snow Wardens are volunteers who play an active role in their community when the weather takes a turn for the worst.

They help clear side roads and pavements of snow and ice in their local area.  This will not only help your neighbours but also our more vulnerable residents who can't help themselves.

How much time you put in is up to you - all we ask is that you do as much as you can. Snow Wardens duties are seasonal and at times you will need to be reactive to the weather conditions.

What area you cover is up to you too. You can carry out your Snow Warden duties on your own street, housing estate or local area.
