There are variety of working environments where older volunteers may experience health benefits. One great option if you’re looking to stay healthy later in life is volunteering outdoors, such as at a nature reserve, garden centre or woodland trust. Outdoor work will give you the opportunity to get some fresh air as well as keeping you on your feet and moving. Another option is to volunteer at an organisation where you will experience plenty of social interaction, such as at organised charity events or charity shops. Chatting and engaging with others is great for mental health and wellbeing, especially for those that may be more isolated.
