Volunteer for us

Make a positive difference to a local young person’s life today.

 

“We are often two peas in a pod, we can both be really shy, both be a bit of a fussy eater and sometimes hesitate in trying new things. I feel like that helps her be brave and try new things, talk about difficult stuff (even if its not in a lot of detail) and generally be comfortable in my company because she knows I’d never judge her.” -Volunteer befriender.

 

Whether you are supporting a child as a befriender or mentor through our 1:1 befriending and mentoring programmes, helping them build skills and make friends at our group activity sessions or youth clubs, or supporting our fundraising team, you will be playing an active role in changing the life of a local child or young person.

There are several fantastic benefits to becoming a volunteer with Befriend a Child such as:

  • Access to training and upskilling opportunities
  • The chance to play an active role in shaping the future of a child or young person
  • The opportunity to build transferable skills for your future and career
  • The chance to expand your horizons and try new activities
  • Being part of an amazing volunteer community
