Volunteer with Welcare

Many of our services depend on volunteers to keep going. If you have a little spare time, even just one hour a month, we’d love to hear from you.

Could you become a volunteer ‘grandparent’ with our Generation Link project, for example? Or help out at our child contact centres?

Maybe you could help at a crèche or holiday playscheme, or work with families alongside our staff?

We also need volunteers to help with:

  • administration, such as photocopying, phone calls, data input
  • DIY and upkeep of premises
  • sorting equipment, clothes and toys
  • fundraising – organising an event, letters, writing bids
  • gardening
  • helping at parties, picnics and social events
  • distributing information
  • Welcare local area support groups
  • promoting Welcare to other agencies
  • publicity
  • reception
  • representing Welcare at meetings
  • training
  • transport

Everyone has a skill. Please help us strengthen families in London and East Surrey.

Call 020 7820 7910 for details of all our volunteering opportunities or contact your local Welcare centre.

All Welcare volunteers receive an induction training and are CRB checked.

In 27 years’ volunteering at Welcare I have met the best people in my life.

I get such satisfaction from watching other parents and seeing them smile.
