Survivors Can Shine works to empower and protect children and young people by providing platforms to celebrate and amplify their voices. Bringing communities together to change perceptions around child abuse and create young Ambassadors for Change. 
Description

Every child has the right to a safe and happy childhood. 

Survivors Can Shine, a community interest company, works to bring communities together and change perceptions around abuse. We work to empower children and young people to 'Speak Out, Be Heard, Be Safe' and become Ambassadors for Change.

We are hosting an Ambassadors for Change Community event on Saturday May 25th in celebration of International Family Day. We are bringing together children, young people, local youth services. Children and young people will perform the creative pieces they've been working on and have their voices heard by public figures, the wider community & the Mayor of London who will hand out the Ambassadors for Change Awards.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers for this event, supported by BBC Children in Need, taking place on Hampstead Heath on Saturday, May 25th. We’ll need volunteers to help manage the crowds, answer any queries, and just generally represent Survivors Can Shine. By volunteering for us, you are part of a positive movement for change that is uplifting children and young people through the power of music.

Skills needed: 

  • Enthusiasm and a willingness to get stuck in 

  • Interpersonal skills 

  • Punctuality and reliability  

  • Team work
