Could you volunteer and make a difference to a young person in care?
An Independent Visitor is a positive adult role model who provides support and friendship to a young person in care.

Your consistent friendship will help the young person raise their aspirations, learn new skills, build self-esteem, confidence, and resilience.

We offer a full support package including induction training, online mandatory training and one to one support by your IV Coordinator throughout your volunteer journey.
