Volunteer Lead Role
Volunteering with TimeGivers offers a fun and active opportunity to acquire new skills and gain experience while making a positive impact on children's lives.
As a volunteering platform, we offer numerous opportunities for families and individuals to participate. However, as a Volunteer Lead, you will undergo training and a DBS check to run a number of events yourself.
Being part of our team allows you to contribute your time to any of our diverse projects. Throughout the year, we organise several school trips, after-school giving back clubs, and family events, all aimed at connecting children with their wider community.
Our activities focus on three key areas: the environment, crisis relief, and addressing social isolation. Examples of these activities include bulb planting, garden regeneration, cooking clubs, arts and crafts clubs, litter picks, engaging with residents at care homes through singing or games.
With such a broad range of activities to choose from, we are also keen to explore any specific skills you may possess to create tailored events.
This role provides a genuine opportunity to make a meaningful difference.

-
Professional training on safeguarding, leadership health and safety followed by at-home training materials

Some prior experience working with children
