Volunteers play a vital part in ensuring that more children are heard, understood and supported.

By donating your time and skills, you too could help us to make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children throughout the country.

We offer a wide range of local volunteering roles that are flexible enough to suit your lifestyle, interests and availability.

What's in it for you?

Volunteering is not all about helping others. We will do our best to ensure that you benefit from your new role as much as we do. Your volunteer role will allow you to:

* meet other people, give talks or enjoy being part of a team
* gain valuable experience, develop a talent and learn new skills
* increase your confidence and feel positive about using your skills.

How we will help?

The Children's Society is committed to making sure that you benefit from your volunteering role as much as we do. We pledge to:

* help you explore a variety of roles to find the right one for you
* provide information, resources and a support network
* reimburse expenses for travel and food
* provide adequate insurance protection
* use a variety of methods to thank and acknowledge our volunteers.
