Volunteers play a vital role in creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for children aged 5–17. You’ll help coordinate and lead fun activities such as arts and crafts, baking, and a variety of indoor and outdoor sports. Working alongside our staff team, volunteers ensure that every child feels comfortable, supported, and enjoys their time with us. Opportunities are available during our youth club sessions on Thursdays and Fridays from 5–7pm, as well as during our holiday clubs held in Easter, Summer, and Winter, running from 10am–2pm. At the end of each session, volunteers assist with tidying up—and during our half-term camps, you’ll also enjoy a hearty lunch provided as part of the team.
