By volunteering for us you can give something back to your community, learn valuable new skills, and make new friends. Our volunteers get as much out of the experience as the older people and communities they help.
Care homes
Our homes provide care for older people tailored to their individual needs. We pride ourselves on the warmth and friendliness of our homes and every resident is part of the family. FotE volunteers offer friendship and also support residents in other ways.
To find out more please contact the manager of your nearest home, for full details of all our homes click here.
Day Clubs
Our Among Friends day clubs offer a fantastic day out and are a vital lifeline for people living with dementia and their families. Volunteers are important at Among Friends as they make a real difference to the lives of the older people we support.

Phoning FriendsThis telephone befriending service offers a lifeline to isolated and lonely older people. By making regular phone calls to our clients volunteers develop friendships and help improve the quality of lives and well-being of older people.
To find out more please contact the Phoning Friends manager or click here.
Friendship is a precious commodity that can seem scarce as we get older, especially if you’re living alone. Our volunteers befriend isolated older people living in their own homes and by organising group events or coffee mornings in sheltered housing schemes.
