Volunteering at ActivLives

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do as a local charity. They play an important role in delivering our programmes and services to local communities. From 2025-2026, over 40 volunteers shared their time and helped us in supporting our members and our different sessions and activities.

Our volunteers prepare meals and assist our members at our lunch club, men’s hub and Dementia hub. They help us deliver our weekly exercise sessions in Ipswich and across Suffolk by preparing the venues before the start of the session, assisting members during the exercise routines, and socialising with our members.

The volunteers are also instrumental in delivering our community gardens projects, courses, events and initiatives. They grow fruits, vegetables and plans that we provide to a local top up shop and sell in the local community. ActivSheds volunteers create DIY woodwork projects and beekeeping volunteers assist us in the apiary.
