Do you know a young person who wants to make a difference and spare one or two hours a week?

We have exciting volunteer opportunities for 16-19-year-olds at our South Belfast offices.

As a volunteer-led organisation our work empowering children and young people with additional needs to develop the skills to live independently and achieve their potential is only possible thanks to our dedicated volunteers.
