Martyn Lewis CBE, who is opening the exhibition, says:

“Older volunteers are good news for voluntary organisations, with skills and abilities acquired over the years, as well as maturity and reliability. Older people who volunteer are usually fitter and happier - but often we let older volunteers go, or don't recruit them in the first place.

“Volunteering in the 21st century is more diverse than ever before and offers opportunities for older and retired people to have fun whilst feeling valued and being engaged with their communities. Everyone has something to offer and can benefit positively from being actively involved with volunteering.”
