Responsibilities

Become an Independent Visitor

We seek fun, reliable, and enthusiastic volunteers from diverse backgrounds who are interested in making a difference in young people's lives.

You will choose activities with your young person, such as going to the cinema, bowling, playing football, dining out, riding bikes, or walking in a park. We will match you with a child sharing similar interests.

No prior experience working with children is required—just an interest in their development and welfare. Full training and support are provided.

  • Amy (12): Lives with an older carer; interested in sports.
  • Brad (13): Lives in residential care; enjoys outings and fun activities.
  • Cassie (16): Recently moved; wants help building confidence and exploring the area.
  • Danny (11): Lives with foster carers; interested in parks, aeroplanes, and animals.
  • Emma (9): Lives in a busy household; wants to spend quality time on her own.

The Application

  • Volunteering mainly occurs on weekends and after school hours.
  • A commitment of at least 24 months with one visit per month is required for stability.
  • Complete the Personal Statement on the application form, sharing about yourself; it is part of the shortlisting process.
