VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES

​

We can offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities for people who want to get involved with a great local charity, meet new people or develop their experience, while supporting us to maintain our much-needed services. Anything from help with DIY and gardening to admin support, fundraising or even joining our Executive Committee to help build the charity and move it forward. 

 

Volunteering is also a great way for empty nesters and stay at home parents to use their life experience to support others at vulnerable times on their parenting journey. So if you have experience to share and time to spare we would love to hear from you!

​

We ask all potential volunteers to comply with routine but robust application checks. If you would like to find a suitable volunteering role at WelCare please contact director@kingstonwelcare.org.uk

​

• Help running the Parent's Place sessions and cafe, including welcoming and chatting with parents, helping with registration, supporting play sessions and making drinks for guests.
