Volunteer roles
Unremunerated
We are seeking a new Chair to join Age International and help us drive towards our vision of a world where every older person is included and valued.
Our world is ageing rapidly, and yet ageism means older people’s needs and contributions are too often overlooked. Age International supports and promotes the rights of older people in low- and middle-income countries, through long-term programmes, humanitarian responses and advocacy.
We are the international arm of the Age UK Group, the UK member of the HelpAge International global network, and a member of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) – the only member focussed on supporting older people through crises, from Ukraine to Gaza, Afghanistan to Myanmar.
We drive change in UK policy through influencing and campaigning focused on older people’s health, income security, humanitarian inclusion and rights. For example, we are calling for the UK Government to support a new United Nations Convention on the rights of older persons. Our turnover in the last financial year was £21m.
We are looking for a strategically focused leader with experience as a Chair, or Trustee, and an understanding of the UK international development / humanitarian sector, who will work with the CEO on direction setting, income generation and profile raising. The Chair will also play a key role in fostering collaboration between Age International, Age UK and HelpAge International.
This is a unique opportunity, so if you are excited about creating change for, and with, older people around the world – we would love to hear from you.

We’re on the lookout for a volunteer who’s keen to make a real difference in our communities — and pick up some new skills along the way!
This is a unique opportunity to gain a recognised qualification while helping residents at Asquith Court and Charlotte Court enjoy regular chair-based exercise sessions. These schemes don’t currently have any sessions, but they’re really keen to get started — ideally once a month to begin with (and maybe more if it’s a hit!).

Because you’ll be working with potentially vulnerable residents, you’ll need to be 18 or over to take on this role.
If you’re passionate about helping others stay active, feel good, and have fun — we’d love to hear from you!
