Volunteer with older people

Change loneliness and isolation into comfort and connection with Age NI

Volunteers make our work possible. Get involved today and help change the lives of older people in your community.

From weekly friendship calls to group activities and day centre support, find the right volunteer role for you!

  • Staying Sharp

    Volunteers provide support to older people in the Ballymena area with mild cognitive impairments to make healthy lifestyle choices, working towards reducing isolation and loneliness and increasing confidence.

  • First Connect

    Age NI's First Connect service offers dedicated emotional and practical support at difficult times in an individual’s life. First Connect is currently operating in the Northern trust area only.

  • Living Well Moyle

    Living Well Moyle (Ballycastle area) enables people in local communities, especially those who are older or require support to remain independent, to live the lives they want.

  • Check in and Chat

    Check in and Chat matches volunteers with an older person who might be lonely or isolated for a weekly friendship call.

  • Good Vibrations

    Good Vibrations is a health and wellbeing programme for men aged 50 and over. Get involved with the service as 1-2-1 support, assistance for the coordinators at events, and more!

  • Retail

    Age NI Retail volunteers transform lives by raising vital funds to ensure we can deliver services to older people in NI.

  • Day Centres

    Our Day Centres can be a lifeline to older people. They are invaluable, fun places where older people leave their troubles at the door and enjoy each other’s company over a hot meal.

  • Fundraising

    Are you a born fundraiser or event manager? We will make it easy for you to become part of our fundraising team.

  • Peer Facilitators

    Peer Facilitators help us engage with, and listen to the voices of older people.

  • Share your story

    Age NI receives calls from journalists who want to hear from older people about anything and everything.

Age NI is unable to sponsor visa application for volunteers outside the UK. Thank you for your interest in supporting our work, find other ways to get involved here.
