Our V21 projects are run by a team of friendly staff who support and instruct our trainees in their chosen area but they could always do with extra hands.
We value the time and effort our volunteers invest with us and if you’d like to use your unique skills to support what we do, volunteering is a highly rewarding option.
Whatever your goal we’ll help you achieve it. You’ll have fantastic opportunities to meet people and make new friends whilst being a part of an inclusive and supportive organisation.

What can you do?
If you’re over 16 with plenty of enthusiasm, energy and a willingness to help people with a learning need, then we would love to hear from you!
No prior experience is necessary but due to the nature of our work, we require all volunteers to provide two character referees and undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service check (at no cost to you).
You’ll receive a full V21 induction, you’ll meet the staff and students, have a project tour and go through our policies and procedures.
There is no minimum commitment, you can volunteer for as many or as few hours as you wish – arrangements can be made to fit around you and full training and guidance will be given.
Take a look at our projects and think about which you would most like to help with.
