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!
