Volunteer With Us

As a national charity, we enable people to live later life well through our 86 specialist care homes and 65 thriving retirement living schemes. We deliver 364 different group, club, activities and classes each week in 192 locations to 11,400 older people. With 80 years’ experience we put people at the heart of everything we do in all our homes and schemes across Britain. All our donations and any surplus we generate is invested into the services we provide for our 19,000 residents and members.

We have 6,500 dedicated colleagues and are supported by 3,000 generous volunteers. For more about MHA and our services, visit our About Us page >>
