At HEY CU our volunteers play a vital role in the many experiences that we give the children. They come along to spend to supervise a group of children for the day, encouraging them to try new things, discover their unique talents and explore the surroundings. Our volunteers are from many different walks of life and the children love to hear about the jobs that they do! We have a wide variety of experiences, most of which take place during the school day and the commitment of time can range from a couple of hours to a whole weekend. Take a look at our school experiences page on our website to see the fantastic things you will be doing with the children.
We also have opportunities for volunteers to support our fundraising events with roles like marshalling, manning our charity tent and supporting other volunteers.
