Get Active Week

Every year in late June, CSV’s Retired and Senior Volunteers offer friendship, companionship and fun to thousands of isolated older people in the UK.

Get Active Week volunteers organise days out for older people who find it difficult to leave their homes without assistance. To join them in 2010 or for more information about the campaign, contact Betty Bryden on 020 7643 1385 or email bbryden@csv.org.uk.

Since 1993, Get Active Week volunteers have given housebound and isolated older people a chance to get out of the house and enjoy other people’s company and also to give those who care for them a much-needed break. Every year they touch the lives of over 10,000 people in a single week. Volunteers work in partnership with companies, local authorities, celebrities and other voluntary organisations to make sure everyone has a day to remember.

Get Active Week takes place in June, but there’s work to be done on planning and fundraising throughout the year. If you’d like to help, get in touch with our Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme today.
