Volunteer

Discover our volunteer opportunities. There are lots of opportunities to get involved with Caring Together North Yorkshire.

Just a small amount of your time each week, can bring companionship to an older person living alone, or allow a carer to have a much needed break from the pressures and responsibilities of looking after someone full-time.

“The people we visit are very grateful. It becomes a positive experience for all involved. They look forward to my visits and it develops into friendship. I find it very fulfilling and the people I visit find it extremely beneficial. I feel well supported in my volunteering and there is always someone to talk to when I call”
