Support our monthly youth sessions by helping set up activities, welcoming and engaging young people, joining in with LEGO, photography, arts, games and other creative activities and helping create a safe, inclusive and playful environment. Activities change each month, so there is always something new to get involved in. No specialist skills are required—just enthusiasm, reliability and a caring approach.
One Saturday a month opportunity.
