You can make a big difference to our young people. Whatever you have to spare, your time, a monetary donation, food, clothes – or even sharing what we do to raise awareness. Every little helps, but helps us in a big way.
It is down to people like you that we are able to help young people through tough times.
So why not get in touch with us and let us know how you can help to make positive changes to peoples lives.
What skills do I need?
Nightsafe’s volunteer mentor programme, Safelinks, started in 2015 and is supported by the National Lottery Reaching Communities fund.
This funding allows Nightsafe to recruit, train, supervise, develop and utilise volunteers in a variety of ways across all projects.
Volunteers truly enhance the services that Nightsafe is able to offer the young people who access us. For example, when we have a vulnerable young person stay with us who is asked to attend a job centre appointment to apply for benefits, the young person can be scared and sometimes intimidated to attend the appointment alone, this is when volunteer mentors go with them and advocate on their behalf.
This practical support is invaluable to ensure that the correct information is being given on both sides and any jargon is interpreted and information is given to the young person in an easy to understand way.
Nightsafe volunteers also champion the young people we work with and help them to stand up to services who in the past haven’t always been welcoming or helpful, to ensure they get the support and services they require and that their voices are heard.
