“Volunteering has been beneficial to my own health and I get great satisfaction from helping others and seeing the difference in them.” – Karen, 57. 








In 2018 the Ageing Well programme was awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS), which is the highest award given to UK volunteer groups, and is the equivalent of an MBE. The award reflects the tremendous contribution of our Ageing Well volunteers and the positive difference they make to the lives of our participants.
