Volunteering
Do you have spare time?
Nelson’s Journey is fortunate to have a team of volunteers who are willing to give up their free time to support our work. Volunteers help the charity in a number of ways including providing support at fundraising events and attending our therapeutic weekends for bereaved children.
We require all who are interested in volunteering for Nelson’s Journey to fill out an application form. Following receipt of this the applicant would then be invited for an interview to discuss potential volunteering roles within Nelson’s Journey. Depending on the outcome of the interview and references, applicants who wish to attend our therapeutic weekends may be invited to attend two training days. These days give people the opportunity to share their own experiences of loss. Although personal experience of significant loss can be very helpful when supporting bereaved children, it is important that the volunteer’s loss is no longer raw or very painful as this would not be in either the volunteer’s or children’s best interest. To ensure the safety of children with whom we work, Nelson’s Journey also undertakes Criminal Records Bureau checks.
If you are interested in volunteering for Nelson’s Journey please contact us and request a volunteer application pack.
