Volunteering

Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless

We are a small charity but thanks to the vital support of volunteers, we have helped hundreds of local children and families who have been bereaved or affected by loss or terminal illness.  To ensure we can support many more, could you help us?

We know time is precious.  But we promise that giving us even a little of your time will be a fun and rewarding experience and you will be a valued member of our team.

Volunteering can help to reduce stress, keep you mentally stimulated, provide a sense of purpose and help you develop new/existing skills. Its also a great way to meet new people and make lifelong friends.

Whatever time you can give, whether it's a few hours a year, or a week, it will help us ensure local children and young people have better futures. You will be helping to shape the lives of local children that need support.  

In return, you will be a valued member of our team, have an enjoyable role that fits in with your lifestyle and the opportunity to develop your skills though our training modules. We will also be able to provide references to help support any future job applications.

Please see below for the wide range of opportunities we have available or for more information or an informal chat, please contact our Volunteer Co-ordinator Olivia Bradford on 01636 551739 or by email.

Alternatively you can complete the application form below. 

How ever much time you have to give, we would love to hear from you.

And that's not all!! To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee there will be lots of royal related items to spot along the trail, with a small gift for the children that find all the clues and solve the puzzle.
