There are many charities both local and national which rely heavily on the work and experience donated by retired people. We discuss the subject in the topic page on 'Volunteering' and list some of the websites which connect volunteers with appropriate charities.
For a useful general list of contacts in this field see www.primetimers.org.uk
For a comprehensive oversight of information on charities see www.guidestar.org.uk which is supported by HM Treasury, the Chrity Commission and various trusts.
