As a Charity, Livewire relies on the good will of volunteers and is always looking for people within the local community who want to give some time on a regular basis, helping to provide a unique and exciting provision for young people aged 13 to 20 for senior sessions and school year 6 to year 8 for junior sessions.

Volunteering is a fantastic opportunity for both Livewire and the Volunteer. It is a rewarding and fun activity. It can be demanding and because of how busy Livewire is it can be hectic, but you will become part of a supportive and professional team delivering a wide range of activities to young people.

ADULTS INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING

1. Helping to run our coffee bar (selling sweets, drinks and making the occasional bacon butty)

We also need volunteers to help run Livewire’s junior club on a Wednesday evenings from 6.15pm to 8.45pm, this work is with children from school year 6 to year 8.

All adult volunteers must complete an Enhanced Criminal Record Bureau Check,  (arranged free through Livewire).

YOUNG PEOPLE VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES

Livewire is keen to support young people volunteering within the community, which leads to various awards and accreditations which can help make it easier for you to get a job, or help with getting into college or university.

We always need Wednesday evening volunteers to help run junior club. This can be helping as peer workers or as peer musicians, and again this is rewarding but can be hectic.
