Volunteer for us
As an LPW Volunteer, you will be providing much needed support to the South-West’s most at-risk Children and Young People (CYP), whilst gaining valuable experience and insight into the work that we do. You’ll get to witness our CYP’s achievements and best moments, and help them overcome obstacles to fulfil their potential.
Perhaps you’d like to become a Volunteer in order to gain some work experience, give back to the community, or you’re looking to get a taste of what a career with LPW might look like before taking the leap and applying for a paid position with us. Whether your skills lie in play-work, youth outreach and engagement, teaching, music, arts and crafts, or administration and office work, we’d love to hear from you!
Once we’ve identified where your talents would be best put to use and you’ve undergone our standard application and onboarding process (including safeguarding and referencing checks), you’ll be ready to get started with us. We welcome help during the school holidays, during term time, on an adhoc basis, or on a more regular, timetabled basis, depending on your availability our service delivery needs.
FUN FACT!
Did you know that volunteering provides physical and mental rewards?
It has been proven to:
Reduce stress: Experts report that when you focus on someone other than yourself, it interrupts usual tension-producing patterns;
Improve your health: Moods and emotions, like optimism, joy, and control over one's fate, strengthen the immune system.
