Who can volunteer?
Our volunteers range from students at university, to working people, to the retired.

What does volunteering involve?
The nature of the role is that anyone who has a spare hour a week can manage a little volunteering with Engage and make a huge difference to someone else’s life.

We look to match volunteers with someone in their own locality and, where possible, with someone who shares similar interests. This enables a meaningful relationship to be formed between client and volunteer, and keeps the client in touch with their own local community too. We will take into account your preferences regarding which Engage programme would be most suitable for you.
