The focus of this work is the volunteering of elderly in the field of palliative care, since the population, even the elderly themselves, are not enough familiar with this area. The goal of the research is to gain insight into the experience of volunteering of elderly in the field of palliative care. In this qualitative research ten elderly participants took part. The participants were selected using a purposive sample, and the data were collected through a semi- structured interview and then were processed using thematic analysis. The paper deals with three thematic areas, which relate to the reasons, advantages and challenges of volunteering in this area from the perspective of older people. The reasons for volunteering are described through the categories of motivation for involvement and the meaning that elderly attach to volunteering. Then, they describe the advantages through personal benefits, the most beautiful experiences and other people's reactions to their participation in volunteering, which they also mention in terms of challenges, along with the obstacles and difficulties they face and the most difficult experiences. In conclusion, volunteering in older age, especially in such a specific area, has great importance and it is necessary to promote it as a significant form of active aging and to encourage older people to get involved, but also to make society aware of the importance of supporting older people when involving in it.
