Volunteers wanted to support young people
Volunteers help and encourage young people aged 11-19 years old in activities in youth clubs, in groups, forums and projects, for a few hours each week.
People, who give their time in this way, are helping to generate opportunities for young people to grow in confidence and to learn new skills.
