West Berkshire Mencap can offer exciting volunteering opportunities to young people aged 14+. We are looking for volunteers to provide support to children with additional needs while they access activities at our centre.

We offer activities at our Centre After School (the clubs run 3-6pm), Saturdays (10am-2pm or 4pm) and school holidays for 6 hours or longer if you wish. We have a large hall with lots of toys, a sensory room, soft play room and fully equipped playground. As a volunteer you will be playing with the children and helping them to join in with activities on offer. Activities include imaginative play, sensory play, soft play, outdoor play, arts and crafts, games, cooking, outdoor play inc bikes and trikes, supporting all areas of development, caring, imagination and sometimes just chilling out!

All volunteers are given an induction providing them with basic information and are asked to complete some short training courses on safeguarding.

Volunteers can use their hours towards Their Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme.

If you are aged 16+ we will need to carry out a free DBS check.

Directions: Past St Bartholomews School, continue down Enborne Road past Kingsbridge Road. Turn left into Enborne Gate. Just follow the road to the end and you will see The Mencap Centre.
