Volunteer with us

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.

You may be unsure how volunteering fits your background, health or personal circumstances. But whatever your life experience, we’d value your contribution.

You can volunteer if you’re an asylum seeker. Volunteering won’t affect any benefits you get. We’ll support your application if you have a health condition.

Become an Independent Visitor to guide, listen to, and befriend a young person in care.

As an Independent Visitor, you'll be trained and matched with a young person in care, and typically meet with them every month. Your role is to give your mentee the opportunity to build a trusting relationship with a supportive adult outside the care system, to be there for them, introduce them to new activities, and spend quality time together.
