Worcestershire Association of Carers is a vital source of independent support for the 63,000 unpaid carers in the county. All our volunteers are valued members of the team and play an integral part in enabling us to help as many people as possible access our service. Quite simply, we couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers!
In July 2016 we received the gold standard “Investing in Volunteers” award. As the first organisation in the county to be recognised as a centre of excellence for volunteers, we will offer you excellent training, individual support and a range of meaningful opportunities.
