Help isolated/ disadvantage children take part in group activities

Support volunteers needed for Children Heard and Seen

The charity provides early intervention work for children and young people who have a family member/parent in prison. Often these children are isolated or disadvantaged in some way.

The tasks of the volunteer will be to help provide support to children and young people attending group activities and/or to act as a mentor on a one to one basis with young people.
