Description

Can you help us improve outcomes for our young people? We are looking for volunteer drivers, who can spare one evening a week, to transport young people to and from our group sessions.

Your role will be vital in removing barriers to opportunities and reducing social isolation, helping young people engage with activities that strengthen friendships and build confidence.

In return, you will be fully supported by our dedicated staff, reimbursed for any expenses relating to your voluntary role and, of course, have the opportunity to make a positive difference to the life of a young person.
