We are a charity that harnesses the transformative power of play and exercise to help vulnerable children recover from complex trauma. Our goal is to nurture the confidence of every child we work with and develop valuable life skills to help them reach their full potential. Volunteers will support children at Solidarity Sports after-school clubs. In practice this may be running through playgrounds with our children, doing arts and crafts, swimming, and many more fun activities. Volunteers will build a positive, trusting relationship with our children, and make them feel special and valued at all times during our projects. During the school term we have a 'Thrive' after-school club running every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 3:30-5:30pm at St Clements and St James Primary School, Penzance Pl, London W11 4PG. Your role is to support our children during free play and activities, and maintain good communication with staff members and other volunteers. Person specification: You MUST have a passion for working with children. Our children have been through a lot in their short lives; it is vital we listen and give them a safe and fun space to express themselves. We want to create a happy, loving environment for them. Flexibility: Volunteering is flexible, so you can choose to do a one-off if that works for you. However, we encourage volunteers to come regularly so you can build a relationship with our children, e.g. volunteering every Wednesday. Reimbursement: Travel is reimbursed up to £15 with receipts/journey records provided. All volunteers will be DBS checked before volunteering.

This is the perfect way to give back to the community while having fun! Through volunteering you will learn to be empathetic and sensitive in supporting our children, who have experienced significant adversity.
