About the Role
Are you passionate about bringing people together and creating meaningful community experiences?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic, organised and confident Coffee, Cake & Company Co-ordinator Volunteer to take on a leading role, representing Age UK Buckinghamshire at our Coffee, Cake & Company events. This is a rewarding and flexible opportunity, perfect for someone who enjoys meeting new people, being creative, and making a real difference in their local community.
You will help us create a safe, friendly and welcoming space for older adults in the local community to build new friendships, discover local services and try new activities.
On the day, you will be supported by a team of passionate volunteers to help you make the event a success. You will co-ordinate the activities prior to the event, support with promotion, ensuring that everything runs smoothly on the day and provide feedback from the event to Age UK Buckinghamshire.
From shaping each session to bringing in guest speakers and activities, you’ll play a key part in bringing each coffee morning to life.

- Taking photos (where appropriate) to help share and celebrate the impact
- Gathering feedback to help us continue to grow and improve
Why this role is special
This is more than just volunteering, it’s an opportunity to lead, connect and create something that genuinely improves people’s lives. You’ll be helping to reduce loneliness, build confidence in others, and strengthen your local community.

- It's a great way to support older people making a real positive impact
- You'll be giving something back to your community
- Experience in event coordination and community engagement
