Volunteer

Can you offer your services as a volunteer?

Your contribution will never be forgotten, whether it’s decorating a depleted house, taking a child on a day trip, or helping out in a school. If you or your company would like to volunteer in any way with Kids Company, we would love to hear from you. There are many different options available and we will provide full training and support.

Opportunities

Volunteers Pool

If you’d like to help out at any of our events why not join the Volunteers Pool mailing list? That way you’ll be kept informed of what’s going on at Kids Company, as well as having the opportunity to get involved as and when you’re available.To sign up, email: volunteer@kidsco.org.uk.

Schools support

We require therapists and counsellors with experience of working with children. We also need group facilitators for art, music, sport, alternative therapy, dance as well as classroom and learning assistants. If your strengths are in administration or fundraising we need you too! Please send your CV to: Ellen Bailey.
