Volunteer

We couldn’t achieve what we do without our amazing team of volunteers. Experiencing a bereavement as a child is not required to become one of our volunteers; just your drive, passion and enthusiasm to help us deliver our essential service.

We have over 80 volunteers who support our work, including adults and young people. Adults are asked to complete the form below, and young people can make contact with us using the details below. Come and join our team!

Following the Covid-19 outbreak, we are reviewing volunteer activities as a result of the changes to our services – we’d still love to hear from you if you can help.

Volunteer as an adult

We’d be very grateful for any time you can spare:

  •       Supporting our events such as the Walk of Smiles and Christmas Carol Concert
  •       Delivering presentation talks about the charity to community groups
  •       Volunteering on therapeutic weekends and activity days
  •       Representing the charity at fundraising and profile raising events
  •       Supporting Youth Panel and Young Volunteer meetings
  •       Completing admin tasks in our Little Plumstead home, Smiles House
  •       Preparing resources for therapeutic weekends and activity days

Volunteers working directly with vulnerable children and young people will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check.  All volunteers are required to attend Safer Training (child protection training).

We invite all volunteers to an interview, followed by a two day training session for those that wish to assist in the delivery of group therapeutic activities. We hold interviews and training between one and two times per year.  If you would like to support our events such as the Walk of Smiles then you can get involved with those much sooner.

“I find volunteering for Nelson’s Journey very rewarding – it’s amazing to see the children sharing their stories and supporting each other”  Rebecca

Volunteer as a young person

We love involving young people in the charity!

We have a Youth Panel made up of twelve volunteers aged 11 – 17 years – some who have used our service and others who just have an interest in supporting the work that we do.  They meet once every half term and attend as many events as they are able to. They have come up with great ideas including our Smiles and Tears smartphone app and they help out at events.

We also have other young volunteers who also attend events and support the work of the charity.
