Volunteering doesn’t always require specific qualifications. Your time and willingness to help is what is truly valued. We will help you go through the huge number of volunteering opportunities that rely on your desire to make a difference in the community.
If you are away for part of the year, or you simply can’t commit long term due to other responsibilities, that is totally fine – so many volunteer organisations are flexible around your schedule or may have short term projects for you to get involved with
Organisations value the huge amount of experience and wisdom that older volunteers bring. There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available, and so many organisations value older volunteers for their expertise and dedication!
When you visit the Peel Volunteer Centre, we will match you with the best organisations for you and work with that organisation to make sure you are fully supported. Your safety, enjoyment and getting the most out of your volunteer experience is our number one priority!!
