Volunteer roles

Volunteers play an essential part in making Gateshead Carers a successfully run charity by giving their time, talents, energy, and enthusiasm. Volunteering your time can also help with personal development and developing your talents. We are keen to welcome volunteers to help Gateshead Carers identify and help our work to support carers. You can help in a variety of ways


ASK Carers

ASK Carers is a group of volunteers who come together to discuss important issues affecting unpaid carers and help us shape and improve our wellbeing offer to the carers of Gateshead. Every meeting covers a different that carers find important.

Find out more about our ASK Carers sessions by contacting us.


Allotment & Gardening

We have an allotment in Bensham where carers, volunteers, and Gateshead's community can come along to plant and tend vegetables and flowers. You don’t need to be an expert in gardening just enjoy the outdoors, put your green thumb to use or learn new skills, gain a new hobby, and meet new people.

We're working alongside our friends at the Best of Bensham collaborative to offer all of Gateshead's community a chance to enjoy the allotment and get stuck in!

Join us on the allotment
