Join us in creating a Luton where every older person feels supported.
Give your time, change a life — and make a difference in your community.
We are always looking for volunteers to help the elderly in Luton, whether that is helping us deliver services, raising money or joining our established volunteer team.
Volunteer work with the elderly can make a real difference to an older person’s week. A regular chat, a friendly visit or time spent listening can all help lonely elderly people feel less isolated.
Volunteering with older people does not need specialist experience. You need warmth, patience and the ability to listen. All ages 16+ are welcome to volunteer.
We need volunteers who are enthusiastic about making a difference to an older person’s life. Every call and every visit offers support for lonely elderly people in Luton who might otherwise go days without a proper conversation.
Volunteering can take just 1 hour a week. You might give someone a regular phone call through Telephone Club or visit someone locally through Home Visits. Both are befriending volunteer roles, and both offer real companionship for elderly people.
Home Visits is face to face volunteer work in Luton. You visit an older person nearby for a regular chat and a cup of tea, and that hour a week soon grows into a real friendship.
It suits people who want their voluntary work in Luton to feel personal. You are supporting an older person in your own community, in their own home.
Telephone Club is our phone befriending service and genuine volunteer work from home. You give an older person a regular friendly call each week, from wherever you are in the UK.
As a telephone befriending volunteer you are doing remote volunteering in its simplest form. Everything happens by phone, so you do not need a computer, and your time still supports a local charity here in Luton.

Yes. Telephone Club volunteers make all their calls from home, so you can take part wherever you are in the UK. Unlike many work from home volunteer opportunities, your time goes to a local charity rather than a national campaign. We will talk through the role, your availability and fit before anything is confirmed.
Yes. Telephone Club is remote volunteering by phone and is open to volunteers across the UK. Home Visits is the local, in person option if you are in or near Luton.
Home Visits is our main in person way to volunteer in Luton, offering regular conversation and companionship to an older person locally. There are wider volunteer opportunities in Luton with us too, from practical support to helping at community events.
An elderly befriender gives an older person regular, reliable friendly contact. With us that means a weekly phone call through Telephone Club or a visit in person through Home Visits.
Telephone Club is remote volunteering, but it happens by phone rather than online. You do not need a computer, just a phone and an hour a week.
If you live in or near Luton, Home Visits is the closest match. If you are not local, Telephone Club still lets you support older people in Luton by phone.
No. These are voluntary befriending roles rather than paid jobs. You give around an hour a week, and what you get back is the difference you make to an older person’s life.
No specialist experience is needed. We look for people who can listen, show empathy and keep a regular commitment. All ages 16+ are welcome.
