Kith & Kids
We need volunteers who can support help our members (young adults with autism and/or learning disabilities) to have lots of fun and challenge themselves in a host of activities throughout the year!Kith & Kids' aim is to empower our members and their families to develop new skills, gain greater confidence and overcome social exclusion.We have an activity to suit the interest and availability…
Kith & Kids provides activities, opportunities, information, and support for people with a learning disability or autism, their parents, and siblings. For all our projects and activities we are dependent on volunteers.
Our Employment & Life Skills Project (ELSP) helps adults with learning disabilities or autism to access further education, work experience and visits to mainstream community opportunities.
ELSP represents a fantastic opportunity for you to share your knowledge and experience built up through a lifetime to a group that is continuing to develop and achieve their targets.
We’ll reimburse your travel expenses and will provide excellent training and lots of helpful support.
Time commitment
The project runs from 10am to 3pm, Mondays and/or Fridays during term-time.
Everyone gets the most out of the project if you come every week for at least a term as you'll build a close relationship with the members you'll have been supporting and will create the most impact.

What measures have you put in place to ensure volunteers’ safety during COVID-19?
We are following a number of safety measures when meeting service-users & volunteers. Taking temperature checks on arrival, asking a number of COVID-related questions before entry, wearing face masks where necessary, suggesting for volunteers to take a lateral flow test before attending an activity. These measures are regularly reviewed.
