We are looking for people to volunteer 2-4 hours per week/fortnight to help support our youth work sessions.


Our incredible volunteers play an integral role in helping to facilitate our youth work sessions including supporting activities such as cooking, fitness sessions, after school clubs and holiday activities. Our volunteers work alongside experienced youth workers and help create a safe space where young people can be themselves, take part in new activities and build their confidence.

Learn new skills and give your CV a boost
Improve your confidence


What would I be doing?
Assisting our experienced youth workers with our youth programmes
Supporting young people to take part in activities
Offering your expertise in other areas such as fundraising, finance, HR or administration


Most of the volunteering takes place within our setting but on occasionally we ask if our volunteers would like to join us on youth trips. For these trips, transport is normally provided but agreed out of pocket expenses can be paid if agreed with our team.


Our volunteers carry out a thorough induction including PVG check, working through a volunteer induction and handbook and reading through relevant policies. Our induction also includes certain mandatory training including child protection.
