Current opportunities
If you would like to make a positive and lasting impact on a local young persons’ life and you can offer a few hours a week, then this opportunity might be perfect for you!
Engage is a fantastic befriending project created to support young people aged 8 – 14 who are referred to the service for a variety of reasons. The aim is to create a befriending match between young person and volunteer/befriender to have lots of fun, increase self-esteem, confidence and motivation.
The young people who can access the service often have siblings with additional support needs, are in care themselves, are young people attached to CAMHS or other mental health services and some are young people with chaotic lifestyles and home environments.
With greater awareness of acceptable behaviour, we hope to bring positivity and nurture children that are experiencing very difficult and challenging lifestyles.
