Age Concern Hampshire, a charity dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older individuals, is seeking volunteers to assist vulnerable older people with form-filling tasks. The charity recognizes the challenges faced by older individuals in navigating paperwork and online form-filling processes, and is committed to providing practical assistance to help them access crucial services, benefits, and support.
