Do you have a heart for children and young people and a few hours to spare during weekdays, evenings, or occasional weekends? Whether you’re a student, retiree, or working professional – your time and skills can make a real difference.

At Life Brooks, we run inclusive, impactful programmes that support children and young people, especially those with additional needs or from disadvantaged backgrounds. We’re looking for volunteers who can offer enthusiasm, empathy, and expertise whether in creative arts, education, mentoring, admin, youth work, or community development.

As a volunteer, you’ll:

• Support activities during the day and after school, helping children and young people engage, learn, and grow.
• Use your professional skills in teaching, finance, digital media, counselling, therapy, or project management to strengthen our work and impact.
• Inspire confidence and joy, encouraging young people to explore new experiences and step into their potential.
• Gain valuable experience, build community, and witness the transformative power of connection and care.

No matter your background, if you’re enthusiastic and willing to learn, we’ll provide full induction and support.

Join Life Brooks and help us create safe, joyful, and life-changing spaces for the next generation.

Becoming a Life Brooks Volunteer

We welcome compassionate, committed individuals who are ready to make a difference in the lives of children and young people.

All new volunteers are invited to attend a short induction session, where you’ll be introduced to Life Brooks, our vision and values, and your role as a volunteer. You’ll also receive basic training on how to support children and young people with additional needs, as well as guidance on safeguarding and working in inclusive environments.

To volunteer with Life Brooks, you must:

• Be 18 years or older
• Complete an enhanced DBS check (arranged through Life Brooks)
• Be open to learning, reliable, and passionate about supporting others

Volunteering with us is simple to begin—and incredibly rewarding. Whether you’re offering a few hours a week or bringing specialist skills during the day, your time can have a lasting impact.
