HAVE FUN!

We have a number of different kinds of volunteering opportunities to suit your needs and availability.

  • Takeover Day

This is for young people aged 13-18 years of age it is about aspiration, inspiration and ambition.  Young people will have the opportunity to work across our sites in a variety of different roles.  It is not work experience and we would expect young people to get involved in some decision making and staff will tell them about their personal career path.  This day will take place annually in October/November time.

 

  • Taster Days

Similar to Takeover Day but this happen all year round andis opento all ages.  Come into Impact, work with a member of staff and find out about different careers.  An ideal opportunity to see different jobs.
