Volunteering with Children and Family Action
Without volunteers who give us their time to become Children and Family Action mentors, we would not be able to make such a lasting and positive change to the lives of vulnerable children and their families.

The type of volunteers we need
We are looking for volunteers who have a genuine interest in mentoring children. No particular background or experience is required; however, successful applicants will possess the following qualities:
a clear, sensitive and friendly style of communication;
an ability to get on well with children;
a sense of responsibility and common sense;
excellent listening skills and patience;
warmth, enthusiasm and a sense of humour;
reliability, self-motivation and tenacity.
The mentoring relationship lasts for a year. Each mentor must commit to meeting his/her child once a week during that year. The mentor must also agree to attend monthly meetings with a Chance UK programme manager to review progress and agree priorities for forthcoming mentoring sessions

Helping boys become men

85% of the children we support are boys - boys who would benefit hugely from having a positive mail role model in their lives. To this end, we are constantly looking to recruit male mentors.

If you are interested in becoming a male role model, please download the information brochure and application forms above or contact us by telephone on 01964 615340
