We are looking for a reliable and committed volunteer to befriend and support a young person, spending time together and enjoying positive activities in the local community. This is a long-term role and offers the opportunity to make a genuinely meaningful difference by being a consistent, independent presence in a young person’s life. We are seeking a female volunteer in the Barnstaple area for a 13-year-old girl who loves being outdoors and active (weather-dependent!), enjoys crafts, has a particular interest in horses and horse-riding, and is open to trying new activities.
The role involves meeting around once a month, typically at weekends or during non-school time, so it would suit someone with a small amount of regular free time. Reasonable expenses, including travel, will be reimbursed. Experience of working with young people is welcome but not essential. What matters most is that you enjoy spending time with young people and feel confident building positive, supportive relationships.
