Call for evidence: involving people over 50 in volunteering

The Centre for Ageing Better is looking for examples of inspiring practice to support people aged 50 and over – including in particular those from currently under-represented groups – to get involved in volunteering and community activity. The call for practice is part of the Centre’s Review of Community Contribution in Later Life, undertaken in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Areas of interest included shared processes and systems across volunteer-involving organisations; examples of collaboration between those offering more and less formal and committed volunteering roles; and examples of practice geared to support the inclusion of people with long-term conditions and disabilities, and those from low-income communities.

The call for practice is open until 30 April 2018, and responses can be submitted via the website or by emailing [email protected].
