Become an Independent Visitor
We seek fun, reliable, and enthusiastic volunteers from diverse backgrounds who are interested in making a difference.
Independent visitors support a child or young person one-to-one, meeting once a month to provide support, encouragement, and guidance. Activities can include going to the cinema, playing sports, dining out, or simply chatting. You choose activities based on shared interests.
No prior experience working with children is required—full training and support are provided.
