And there are now nearly two and a half million retirees over the age of sixty volunteering for charity work. That's according to research by the Royal Voluntary Service.
The research also provides an insight into why older people choose to volunteer. Although 83 per cent of those aged 60 and over volunteer because they believe the work of the charity is very important, 39 per cent follow in the footsteps of a relation and say they volunteer because their family have always done so.
