We want volunteers who are as diverse as our participants.

We want volunteers who can support our participants using their business, technical or education expertise. Young people who are just a few years ahead in their education are invited to join us too (especially participants returning from an Enterprise Academy project). We will take you through formal safeguarding training so that you can work as role models and mentors for participants.

What Volunteers Get from Supporting...
