Volunteer
If you would like to give us some practical support there are all sorts of ways in which you could give valuable support with your free time.
Gardening Volunteers Needed
We would like to add a little colour to our gardens this spring, and we need passionate, active people to help us do it. You would be working in the garden of one of our residential Houses and would ideally be able to commit to coming in once or twice a month on a weekday.
- Work in a team of like minded people
- Help to create a beautiful environment for our children
- Do something you love
- Get fit whist you work
- Introduce a new generation to the joys of gardening
If you are interested in helping out, please contact Sarah Hubble on 01303 815 634 or email samantha.scott@caldecottfoundation.co.uk.
Volunteering with the Children
We are unable to offer volunteer placements working directly with our children at the current time. If you would like us to consider you for this type of volunteering in the future then please send us your details and we will be in contact if the situation changes.
Caldecott Reps
If you enjoy public speaking and getting out and about we can offer you a place as a Caldecott Rep: giving talks on our work, attending cheque presentations, and becoming a close friend of the Foundation. You might need to travel around Kent to visit schools, groups and events.
Collection Box Managers
We are always hunting for people who have some time to help with placing, managing and collecting Collection Boxes in their local area. You will get to build relationships with local shops and businesses as you pop in to change Collection Boxes and present certificates.
Would you like to Volunteer? This is the first step...
Thank you for offering us your time. For the first step we ask that you email a copy of your CV with a Covering Letter to volunteering@caldecottfoundation.co.uk. We will then contact you to discuss your interest.
Please note that safeguarding our children is our first and most important responsibility and so all volunteers must complete an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check before starting.
Testimonials
It took a while for the kids to get their heads around the fact that Sue wanted to spend time with them and wasn’t getting paid
Bridget, Deputy Manager, July 2009.
I hadn’t anticipated just how much I would get out of the experience and I really look forward to seeing the children
Sue, Volunteer, August 2009.
