Become a Volunteer

Care for Guildford’s amazing team of volunteers provide over 3,000 lifts and 550 shopping jobs each year to our Guildford-based clients. Our clients are so appreciative of our help.

With demand for our service at an all-time high, we need more volunteers, with their own cars, to become drivers, shoppers and Duty Officers (manning the telephone line and booking in drivers).

Can you help?
  • Just an hour of two of your time every now and again will make a real difference
  • Being a Care for Guildford volunteer is flexible and rewarding
  • To be a volunteer driver, no regular commitment is needed
  • Duty Officers need to allocate one day (9am-4pm) most months, and shoppers often needed to be available on a weekly basis.
  • Expenses are reimbursed
How does it work?
  • Only volunteer if the suggested day/time fits in with your schedule
  • For volunteer drivers, our Duty Officer will tell you about client requests by telephone or WhatsApp (or both) – you choose
  • DBS and references required
 We’d love you to join our team!
