Volunteers make the experience more enjoyable for young people and we ensure that our volunteers are supported into training opportunities as well as receiving regular support within the organisation.

It is also a great opportunity for anyone thinking of working with children or adults with additional support needs to have a ‘taster’ that working environment. Volunteer expenses are paid for travel, up to £5 per session.

It also gives parent/carers of special needs children some much needed time out from day to day life. The volunteer(s) would play with children (0-8 yrs), help with painting and crafts (making and help to serve snack. Parents will be responsible for their children and will be present in the room at all times. Toileting and changing needs will be dealt with by the child’s parent/carer.

The Zap group meets on Wednesday evenings from 6 pm until 8 pm on Wednesday evenings at Prestonpans Community Centre. We were fortunate to get a lottery grant and with this we purchased a large range of activities that the youth could enjoy. The group are all on the spectrum of Autism / Aspergers syndrome and the group is a safe place to socialise and to learn. We currently have four staff and the ratio of staff to young person is 1 to 2. We run summer programmes and celebrate events like Christmas and Halloween. The young people have learned a lot from the group and we have learned a lot about how best to support young people who have this condition. We are currently looking for volunteers in order that we might expand provision and invite other youth to join us. There is always a demand for more young people to come along. For people preparing for a community based career or just wishing to give time to the community with an interesting group, this would be a really good volunteering opportunity. Volunteers could opt into summer work or commit to term time
