 About this volunteering opportunity:
Are you active, fun-loving, enthusiastic about life and creative? Do you enjoy working with young people aged 6-25, ‘learning by doing’ and seek a bit of adventure every once in a while?
Everybody has something to offer at the Scout Association. Whether you could be a Scout Leader, a Training Advisor, a Treasurer, a Fundraiser, a Helper, a Young Leader (if you’re 14-18 years) or an Administrator, there’s loads of opportunities to be involved. And it doesn’t matter whether you can spare just two hours a week, a day or a month, there is a role to suit everyone in Scouting.
As a Scouting Enthusiast it’s not just about what you give; you will develop your own confidence and leadership skills.
About the organisation:
The Scout Association provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for 400,000 young people. Personal development means promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential.

 About this volunteering opportunity:
Getting alongside a young person in care is a real opportunity to make a significant difference to their life. This volunteer opportunity is for adults over 18 who enjoy the company of young people and are able to communicate and engage with them positively.
This role is for ongoing long-term volunteering outside of school hours and involves meeting regularly with a young person you are carefully matched with to be an encourager and buddy to them. You will need to be confident to advise on daily issues, and be able to offer long term commitment and have perseverance and flexibility. The relationship offers the young person a chance to discuss serious issues and/or just have some fun with someone outside the ‘system’. You will receive support and training and will need to have a CRB check and references.

Can you help run events and activities for Cerebral Palsy Sport? The charity needs Sports Champions to help provide coaching and training to members who do Athletics, Boccia, Bowls, Swimming and Football. They also need Referees and Sports Officials. But if that’s not you’re thing, but you really want to help the charity to continue doing their work, then could you be a Fundraiser or a general helper, being an extra pair of hands at both local and national events?
In all of these roles you need to have a passion for working with people who have Cerebral Palsy, an enjoyment of sport, a willingness to help and learn and take real pleasure in seeing people rise to the challenge and reach their potential.
