Fundraising for Help the Aged

There are many ways you can volunteer to help raise funds for Help the Aged. If you’re interested in helping us to raise funds, see a list of opportunities here.

Volunteering in your local community

Help the Aged works with a vast number of groups and organisations supporting older people in local communities throughout the country, and we refer many volunteers to these. Opportunities vary greatly but can include, for example, befriending, committees, day centres, driving, help with shopping, hospital visiting, IT and office support, amongst many others.

Please complete the online enquiry form and we will forward you details of those groups and organisations we have links with in your area.

Help the Aged shops

Our shops are not only vital for raising funds, they are a source of useful information for older people. By volunteering in a Help the Aged shop you'll learn new skills, make friends and be more involved in your local community. See the Shop volunteers page or email us at volunteering to find out more.

Help the Aged local fundraising committees

Our local fundraising committees bring in money to help provide support to older people and promote the work of Help the Aged. If you want to find out if there is a Help the Aged committee in your area or simply want to know more about them, please email Gill Sargeant
