Ready to make a difference?

Volunteering is open to everyone, from all backgrounds. There’s no upper age limit, though you’ll need to be at least 14 to apply (16 or 18 for some roles). We’re especially keen to hear from people with disabilities, or who identify as Black, Asian or another minority ethnic group (BAME).

You may be unsure how volunteering fits your background, health or personal circumstances. But whatever your life experience, we’d value your contribution.

Unfortunately, volunteer opportunities' with our project teams or directly with the children we support are extremely limited. However, there are many other ways you can make a difference.
