Volunteers

Double-

We really couldn’t achieve all we do at South Lakeland Carers without the commitment and dedication of our volunteers.  Volunteers are highly valued and involved in a wide range of roles across the organisation.  You are bound to find something that interests you.

Volunteering is a great way to make new friends, improve your skills for employment and really make a difference to the life of someone who may be struggling.  We welcome applications from people able to offer their time on a regular or ad hoc basis.

What our volunteers say

‘I look forward to my morning in the office.  It has given me a feeling of still being useful after retirement by working alongside a very friendly group of people in a busy office environment.  It is good to help out and feel appreciated’ Ailsa, admin volunteer.
