TimeGivers - Adult Volunteers needed to facilitate volunteering opportunities for children and young people in Harrow!

TimeGivers - Connecting Children & Young People To Their Community Through Volunteering

TimeGivers is a London based charity that partners with schools to integrate volunteering into education, empowering children and young people (aged 4-18) to engage with their local communities and develop purpose-driven and practical skills.

We need Adult Volunteers to facilitate volunteering events for children and young people within their local communities in Harrow.

Adult Volunteers can support a wide variety of fun and meaningful 'Giving Back' activities during school hours, including e.g.:

Arts and Crafts

- Helping primary school students create decorations for local care homes

Cooking and Baking

- Supporting secondary school students to make nutritious meals for a community kitchen

Environmental

- Helping students regenerate their school's green spaces - planting, gardening or doing a litter pick

Benefits to being an Adult Volunteer with TimeGivers:

- A chance to inspire children and young people to give back for life

- Connect children and young people to their local community and good causes

- Help forge stronger community networks

- Boost your confidence and self-esteem

- Learn new creative skills

- The chance to meet likeminded people and make new friends

What skills do I need?

All we ask is that our Adult Volunteers enjoy working with children and are reliable, helpful, kind and enthusiastic!

If you have a skill / enjoy doing activities like arts and crafts, cooking and baking, gardening, sewing, creative writing, woodwork/DIY that is useful to TimeGivers, but it is not a requirement!

Most of our volunteering activities last between 1 hour and 3 hours, and you will be on your feet for a lot of the time, so a reasonable level of fitness is needed.

Details

We need Adult Volunteers during School Term Time (Winter, Spring and Summer), Monday-Friday (within school hours, for 1-3 hours). As an Adult Volunteer you are welcome to choose from supporting TimeGivers for a one-off event, or being a more regular volunteer (e.g. supporting a weekly club for 4-6 weeks consecutively). We also run volunteering activities for children during School Holidays where we sometimes need Adult Volunteers to support us. All volunteer opportunities will take place within the Borough of Harrow. Depending on the school and activity you are supporting (either on a one-off event or a series of weekly clubs), the location will vary. You will be given exact location details prior to taking part in a volunteering activity.
