Volunteer with HENRY

HENRY offers great volunteering opportunities for people who are able to give some unpaid time helping to support children to have the best possible start in life.

In return for giving your time, you will receive free training to equip you with the skills to support families with babies or young children. We will also support and guide you along the way.  We reimburse expenses associated with your volunteering activity such as travel costs which means that any benefits you might be entitled to are not affected.  You will be provided with a volunteering role description and agreement. Volunteers work with children and sometimes vulnerable adults so we always undertake criminal records checks through the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS).

Note:  The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) has lots of information on volunteering including legal status www.ncvo.org.uk
