Volunteering with older people in Sefton is a rewarding way to make a meaningful impact on the lives of some of the most valued members of our community. As Sefton has a growing ageing population, many older individuals face loneliness, and isolation, or require additional support in their daily lives.

Volunteering opportunities range from befriending to assisting with activities, helping at community events, or providing practical help when older people come out of hospital. These interactions not only enhance the well-being of older adults but also build strong intergenerational relationships, enriching the lives of both volunteers and those they support.

Whether you have a few hours a week or want to contribute more regularly, volunteering with older people in Sefton offers a chance to give back, learn from the experiences of others, and be part of a supportive network that fosters a sense of community and inclusion for all ages.
