Volunteering
Join Our Team of Volunteers at Warwickshire Young Carers
Volunteers are the heartbeat of Warwickshire Young Carers, playing a crucial role in supporting young carers and their families. From transporting young carers to activities and trips, assisting with events during evenings, weekends, and school holidays, to helping with administrative tasks and social media, our volunteers make a significant impact.
We deeply value and appreciate the contributions of all our volunteers. We are committed to supporting you through comprehensive training, continuous supervision, and full inclusion in meetings and other activities (if you wish to participate). Your involvement is essential in helping us deliver our mission of improving the lives of young carers.
At Warwickshire Young Carers, we embrace diversity and are committed to equality. We recognise that some individuals and groups face or perceive discrimination. Therefore, we apply the principles of equality and diversity to all our staff and volunteers, as outlined in our Equal Opportunities Policy.
We understand that your time, skills, and knowledge are valuable, and we ensure that all volunteers are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses, such as travel. Warwickshire Young Carers is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Please note that voluntary positions may require an enhanced DBS disclosure.
