We take children on voyages as readers and writers, and we’re on the lookout for volunteers to join our virtual Crew. As a Volunteer Crewmate, your role is to join our online sessions and help children practise their reading and writing, 1:2 and in small groups.

As a Guide, you'll lead a group of 3-4 children on a tour of 18 ‘safety themed’ scenarios. With the aid of a script (as well as using props, lighting, and sound effects), you’ll encourage the children to get involved in spotting lots of hazards, in a variety of day-to-day situations.

As Host, you’ll meet and greet Year 6 primary school classes and provide a brief introductory talk. After putting the children into their groups, you’ll remain with the teachers/parent helpers whilst the children take their tour.

An individual that we support in one of our learning disability residential services is looking for a volunteer to read and chat with. The person is non-verbal and non-tactile.

Our befriending service links disabled young people with a one-to-one volunteer 'buddy' that they can spend time with doing something they both enjoy.
