Volunteer for Children on the Edge

“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.” - Unknown

Volunteering with Children on the Edge is a great way to support real and lasting change to the lives of vulnerable children. 

Apart from wanting to make a difference, people are inspired and motivated to volunteer for Children on the Edge for different reasons:

• Students – making use of holidays and gaining work experience
• Between Jobs – a couple of months to spare before starting a new job
• Retirement – making good use of years of expertise
• Special Skill – which can make a valuable contribution to our work

Unfortunately, there are no opportunities to volunteer on our projects around the world. However, we are always looking for volunteers to help in our UK head office in Chichester, or at events or activities where we need an extra pair of hands!

You can find out more about what opportunities are available below.

Volunteer support in our UK office is vital as it helps to keep our administrative costs down, meaning more of our money can go to support vulnerable children around the world.

Please do e-mail us if you have any questions, or would like to discuss volunteering with Children on the Edge in our UK office. ​
