During this volunteer week, Age UK South Cumbria would like to thank the 292 volunteers who support the charity with their time and enthusiasm. Together they provide more than 30,000 hours of support every year, helping us run our retail stores, delivering social activities and supporting older people with information, advice, and services. Without our volunteers we would just not be able to support older people across South Cumbria in the way that we do. Thank you. ❤️🙏
