Volunteering for ACP falls into two main categories – Community work and Office work.
Our Community Volunteers support the older people of Pembrokeshire in many ways – most are prepared to take on any appropriate work within their area – much as a family member, friend or neighbour might do. Some Volunteers undergo specialist training in order to help clients complete Welfare Benefit forms or to demonstrate and maintain Bath Lifts which are available to clients for purchase or hire. Our Office Volunteers work in the office assisting staff with telephone work, databases and general administration duties.
Age Concern Pembrokeshire has recently been accredited with the Investing in Volunteers Standard Quality Mark for volunteer management - demonstrating that the organisation is supporting Volunteers in all aspects of volunteering. Age Concern Pembrokeshire is the first charity in Pembrokeshire and the first Age Concern in Wales to receive the IiV award.
