Vintage Volunteers was a VAST project funded by the Big Lottery helping people aged 60+ find volunteering opportunities. The research project, which was launched in 2017, reached 61 older people and helped VAST to better meet the needs of older volunteers.
To help understand the issue, a team of members from Vintage Volunteers were trained as community researchers and conducted interviews and focus groups with people over the age of 60 in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire.
