Volunteering

Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do. By helping the local community, meeting new people or developing new skills, ExtraCare volunteers truly make a difference.


We’re also delighted to have achieved the Investing in Volunteering award. A national quality standard that celebrates organisations who create meaningful, well supported volunteering opportunities. This recognition reflects the incredible contribution of our volunteers and the positive difference they make every day in our locations and shops.
