Volunteer

There are many ways you can volunteer for Railway Children.

How can I get involved?

Do you have some spare time? Are you looking for practical ways to get involved in making a difference?

Whether it’s being a helping hand collecting donations at a carol singing concert, handing out T-shirts at one of our Three Peaks events or cheering participants along during a running challenge– there’s so many ways to help!

 

To register your interest in volunteering at events, email us at events@railwaychildren.org.uk and we will be in touch.

Do you have an interest in fundraising, good links with your community and some spare time?

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.
