Manchester Children’s Rights are recruiting volunteer Independent Visitors

28 Jan 2015

Want to do something amazing in your spare time? Independent Visitors help young people in care in Manchester and throughout the North West to meet their full potential

You will be important to the child whom you visit and befriend and will provide a listening ear and do fun activities with them. You will receive full training, support for yourself and be put in touch with other Independent Visitors for peer support and advice. You will also receive expenses. The biggest reward, though, is that knowing you are doing something worthwhile with a young person and giving them the opportunity to develop a meaningful relationship.

We are particularly interested to hear from males and people from black minority ethnic groups who are under-represented in our service.
