Can you help this children’s charity?

We are currently looking for Residential Break Volunteers to join our breaks throughout the year.

Our Daleside Centre, near Ashbourne, Derbyshire, provides five-day residential breaks where children can take a break from the challenges they face, enjoy new experiences, build confidence, make friendships and create positive memories in a safe and supportive environment.

Volunteers spend Monday to Friday with us, working alongside our experienced Break Leaders to support children through activities, games and daily routines.

The role includes:

● Supporting outdoor and creative activities

● Encouraging children to try new experiences

● Helping with meals and everyday activities

● Being a positive and encouraging role model

● Creating a safe, fun and welcoming environment for children

No previous experience working with children is required. We provide full training, safeguarding support, accommodation and meals throughout the residential break.

Please contact volunteer co-ordinator Natalis Ozioro for more information 01822 811119
