Events & activity volunteers
Off The Record Twickenham
Join our Friends group and help us to organise and attend events throughout the year. Volunteer as much or as little time as you like and support young people's mental health in the borough.
We're recruiting volunteers to join our Friends of Off The Record group. OTR provides the only drop-in counselling, information and sexual health service for young people aged 11 to 24, who live, study or work in Richmond Borough. We are a registered charity and we provide help early, when it is most needed. We are open 6 days a week at our Church Street office and we also operate 15 satellite services across the borough. As a result, we help the emotional and mental wellbeing of over 1,000 young people every year. Our services are free and confidential and, sadly, the demand for our services is ever increasing. You will help by: • Raising much needed funds for the organisation • Raising awareness of what we do in the local community • Inspiring others to get involved Some of the things you might get involved with: • Help to organise our annual ‘Quiz with a difference’ and/or Christmas concert (which showcases local young people). For example, you could help source prizes for the auction of promises and raffle, prepare food, or set up and clear away at the end. • Be part of our team at local events including the St Margarets Fair and the High Tide Festival. This might involve, for example, helping to run a tombola and talking to local people about the services which OTR provides. • Support our presence at events where we have been selected as a named charity, such as the open weekends for Eel Pie artists. • Encourage supporters to participate in challenge events such as the Royal Parks Half Marathon or to raise money in other ways.

We welcome you for as much or as little time as you can offer!
