We want to inspire and develop our amazing Volunteers, and offer training and support events throughout the year. Our dedicated Volunteer Co-ordinator will work with you to ensure you are well equipped and happy in your chosen role.
Even if you don’t know exactly how to help yet, but you feel a deep sense of compassion for older people – we would love to chat to you and find out what would fit with you. You could:
Giving your time - either regularly or for one-off occasions is a wonderful way to come alongside older people. You might like to serve drinks at a Memory Cafe, visit a Care Home, or help set up an event.
Please fill in the New Volunteer Form and we will get in touch to have a conversation.
Prayer is at the heart of our work. Could you undertake to pray for Caraway's work once a day, or once a week? Do let us know if this is something you can do.
We also meet to pray together on Zoom once a week for 30 minutes - if this is something you would be interested in joining, please get in touch for more details.
Could you:
- Hold a Bake Sale?
- Run a Marathon?
- Help to fill in Grant Applications?
If you have a gift for fundraising, and have an idea we would love to talk to you!
Please fill in a New Volunteer Form and we'll be in touch!
Could you consider:
- Making a one off donation?
- Setting up a monthly donation?
- Remembering us in your will?
We couldn't offer the support we do without the generosity of the wider Southampton community.
Our Chaplains have undergone training through the BRF to become 'Anna Chaplains'. Their aim is to support older people spiritually and emotionally and they are active across the city in a huge number of ways including one-to-ones, holding services in Care Home, hosting coffee groups and more.
If you are interested to find out more, we would love to chat with you!

Why do you come as a volunteer to help with events like Vintage Adventure in church? …Well, as I’m getting older, I realise that for an awful lot of the elderly, they’ve not got very long left to get to know the lord So I think this generation is the most important ministry. If you’re in with students and you mess it up, they’ve got a whole lifetime when they can met somebody who will correct it. We haven’t got that luxury so this is a very important ministry and I just want to do my little bit.

I see spiritual care as far more than just whether they go to a church or have a faith or not, it is linked to their whole being.
