Become a valued volunteer!

The national Retired & Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) encourages people over 50 to volunteer for the benefit of their local community and provides them with the necessary training and support.

Volunteering is a rewarding experience. We also benefit from the friendship and enjoyment that comes from our activities and each other’s company.

As a volunteer member you will join a team of your choice and give the time you wish to donate. Please click on the menu to read about our teams.

Once you have chosen a team where the work interests you, an organiser for the team will meet with you to chat about that particular activity and to learn more about you.

If you decide to join us we will ask you to –

• Complete an RSVP membership form including details of two referees
• When your organiser has obtained your references, you will be asked to complete a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check if you will be working with vulnerable people

Demand for our services is growing fast so we are always looking for new team-members and team-leaders. Suggestions for new areas of activity are always welcome.

Come & join us! Volunteering is fun and good for your health!
