Volunteer · Stand With Us

Time is the gift
that opens everything else.

Survivors heal alongside other people. Differently abled children learn alongside other people. Every programme we run is held up by volunteers who show up consistently — and we'll train you, support you, and hold you accountable to the people we all serve.

Eight ways to show up.

Pick what fits your life. Every role comes with training, supervision, a peer cohort, and clear boundaries about what we will and won't ask of you.

Translation & Interpretation

Many survivors we serve don't have English as a first language. If you're fluent in two or more languages, you can be the difference between being heard and being lost.

Fluent in English + one more language

Pro-Bono Professional

Lawyers, accountants, designers, marketers — give us a few hours a month of the skill you sell every day. Per-engagement scoping, no ongoing commitment.

What we ask of you

Five things, before you sign on.

Volunteering with survivors and children is a privilege and a responsibility. These five aren't optional.

01

Enhanced DBS check

Every volunteer is DBS-checked at our cost. We'll guide you through the process — usually 2–3 weeks.

02

Safeguarding training

A 4-hour module on trauma-informed practice, boundaries, confidentiality, and incident reporting. Refreshed yearly.

03

Supervision & check-ins

Monthly 1:1 with your supervisor. You're never alone in this work — and supervision protects everyone, including you.

04

Reliability

Survivors and children show up because consistency is what they didn't get before. If you say you'll be there, please be there.

05

References

Two references — one professional, one personal — who can speak to your character. We'll contact them after we meet.

Apply

Sign up to show up.

We respond within 5 working days. The next intake training runs every 6 weeks.

We match volunteers to local needs — most roles require some travel within ~30 minutes of you.
We'll only contact references after we've met you. We'll always tell you first.

By submitting, you'll get a confirmation email and tracking ID. Our intake team responds within 5 working days.

Thank you, friend.

We've received your application. Our volunteer intake team will read every word and reach out within five working days. If you applied for the crisis line, we'll send next-cohort training dates with that reply.

Common questions

Things people ask before they sign up.

No. Most of our volunteers are first-timers. What matters is your time, your reliability, and willingness to be trained. Some roles (mentoring, pro-bono) need professional experience in a specific area, but most don't.
From submission to first shift: typically 4–6 weeks. We respond in 5 working days, then there's a 30-min interview, then references and DBS check (2–3 weeks), then your role-specific training. The crisis line takes longer (12 weeks total) because the training programme is more intensive.
Yes — and many of our most powerful volunteers are. We ask that survivors are at least 24 months out of an active crisis before applying for direct-survivor-facing roles, with their therapist or supervisor's blessing. Other roles (admin, events, pro-bono) have no such requirement.
Life changes. We ask for as much notice as you can manage so we can re-match the survivor or child you've been supporting. There's no shame in stepping back, and the door is always open to come back.
Yes. Travel, training materials, and DBS check fees are all covered by the Foundation. We don't pay an hourly rate (volunteer roles are unpaid), but volunteering should never cost you money out of pocket.
Some roles, yes. Crisis line, translation, mentoring, and pro-bono can be fully remote. Tutoring, workshops, events, and most admin require in-person time. Indicate "remote-only" when you apply and we'll match you accordingly.
