You will offer the benefit of your experience as a carer.

You’ll look at documents, resources and new ideas about developing support for other carers.

•You’ll take part in research opportunities, such as completing questionnaires and telephone or face-to-face interviews.

•You will play a key part in helping to develop our services, products and policies.

•This role is flexible which means you can pick and choose which project you'd like to get involved with. You'll receive a monthly email to notify you about these opportunities.

Who will the volunteers be working with?
Online, on the phone or in person.
Training
As well as receiving a Carers UK Volunteer Handbook, you may also want to join our Volunteers Facebook Group. This group provides a fantastic way for volunteers to connect with each other, and share and hear volunteering news and achievements.
