Give a day, and see what it changes.

Our outreaches run on volunteers: teachers, nurses, drivers, photographers, packers and people who simply show up. There is a place for you.

Ways to help

Bring what you're good at

Every outreach needs a mix of people. Choose one role or a few; we'll match you to where you're needed.

  • Pupils following a lesson at their wooden desks

    Teaching & mentoring

    Help in classes, run reading sessions or mentor young people in our skills programmes.

  • A health worker checking a patient's blood pressure in a clinic

    Medical & health

    Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and health students staff our free health days.

  • A volunteer leads a group of children in an outdoor activity

    Outreach & logistics

    Pack supplies, drive, set up venues and keep the day running on time.

  • A volunteer standing with schoolchildren in uniform

    Media & storytelling

    Photograph, film and write about our work, with consent from the people in it.

  3. Join an outreach

    Come along on the day with a short briefing. Most volunteers come back.

It takes about two minutes. We'll call you within a week to say hello and talk about the next outreach.

How would you like to help?
When are you usually free?

Skills, qualifications, or if you're volunteering as a group.

Questions

Before you sign up

Do I need experience?

No. We'll brief you before every outreach, and you'll work alongside people who have done it before. Medical roles need the relevant qualification.

How much time do I need to give?

As much or as little as you like. Many volunteers join two or three outreaches a year.

Can I volunteer as a group?

Yes. Churches, mosques, schools and companies often volunteer together. Mention it in the form.

Will I be safe?

We plan every outreach with local leaders, travel together and brief everyone on safety and safeguarding.
