Volunteering is a simple concept - it's about giving up your time to do something useful for free - something you usually have a strong interest in, or for a cause you believe in. Being a volunteer for Telford and Wrekin Young Carers is an incredibly worthwhile way to spend some of your spare time. All our young carers benefit hugely from the time and energy our volunteers give and their support is crucial to what we provide. As well as the satisfaction you'll feel in giving, there are great benefits for you too: You will - Meet new people and be part of a team Have free training Develop new skills Gain valuable experience Get expenses and most of all - HAVE BRILLIANT FUN!

Volunteer Information

How much time do I need to give?

Our weekly YOUTH CLUBs are on a Wednesday evening from 5-7pm during term time. Or perhaps if you're still at school or college our fun Holiday and Half Term programmes would suit best. You can choose how often you are able to attend.

How long will I have to commit for?

Again, it's your decision - if your circumstances change then you are under no obligation to stay, although of course we would hope to have you on board for as long as possible!

Will I get my expenses paid?

Yes, we will pay any costs you may have, such as transport or meal expenses, although often these will all be provided for you.
