Thank you Volunteers!

Posted on: June 3rd, 2024

It is Volunteers’ Week at the start of June 2024, and we have a huge number of wonderful volunteers who are crucial to making our work take place.

Volunteers’ Week recognises the contribution volunteers make to our society.  In the case of Engage with Age, volunteers help run groups, pick up the phone as befrienders, and help support our activities in our offices.  Our volunteers are busy helping to make life better for the older people who benefit from our activities.  Quite simply, our volunteers make life better for older people who need a bit of company and a bit of crack.

We would like to say a heart-felt thank you to everyone who gives their time and helps make life better.

Volunteering with Engage with Age is easy.  With as little as one hour per week you can make a real difference to the lives of older people in Belfast.  If you would like to join our merry band of committed volunteers call Engage with Age on 028 9073 5696 or email info@engagewithage.org.uk
