Diversity
We celebrate diversity and want volunteers to feel authentic and belonging. We create an inclusive environment and spread the power of kindness. We have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses related to their role. If upfront costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers, and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. Volunteering is accessible to everyone.

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and have a conversation to discuss any adjustments you may need. Some locations may not be able to host 15‑17 year olds; please get in touch so we can help you find a suitable volunteering opportunity.
