Youth work

Week by week, our volunteers empower young people to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. They’re our everyday heroes. They shape young people’s lives for the better, and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process, too.

​

With young people on the waiting list to join us, we’re more relevant and more needed than ever. That’s where you come in.

​

Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races, faiths and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We’re talking about helping run activities, tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We’re talking about committee members and first aiders. We’re talking about students who want to boost their CV, parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family or those who want to meet people in the community. There may also be places for young leaders aged 14-18 doing Duke of Edinburgh award.

Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. Whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity at a local campsite, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread for a group of very hungry Scouts - no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.

Our members do a huge range of activities from outdoor games, team work challenges and cooking to karting, gliding or going to theme parks.

We provide the training and a free DBS check. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life.

Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is.
