Independent Visitor

Independent Visitors are matched with a child in care based on location, age, and interests. Visits happen every 3–4 weeks, building a unique, trusted relationship over 2 years.

What You'll Do:

Plan fun activities like meals out, cinema trips, or park visits—always led by the child’s preferences. After each visit, share feedback and report any safeguarding concerns.

Why You'll Love It:

You’ll build a meaningful bond, enjoy shared experiences, and make a lasting difference in a young person’s life. Every visit is a chance to create joy and connection.

What You'll Learn:

You’ll gain insight into a young person's life, develop communication and empathy skills, and learn how to support and empower young people through consistent, thoughtful engagement.

What We're Looking For:

We welcome volunteers who can commit long-term, listen well, and plan inclusive activities. Whether you connect best with younger children or teens, we’ll match you thoughtfully.
