Give your time, change a life
VOLUNTEER WITH US
A great way of giving back is by giving your time to support an older person!
The Taskforce have many volunteer opportunities available, from supporting our session, leading creative workshops, doing some volunteer driving, delivering our leaflets and flyers, etc. Whether it's an hour a week or a regular weekly slot, your time makes a real difference, and you'll get just as much out of it as you put in.
Open to everyone — wherever you're from
Whether you're a student, recently retired, or just looking for something meaningful to do with your time — and whether you live in Levenshulme, Longsight, Gorton, Reddish, Stockport or anywhere across Greater Manchester — we'd love to hear from you.
