Children's Activity Support - Group Helper (Newry Family Support Centre)

Barnardo’s is committed to providing ‘Better Outcomes for More Children’. Our children’s services volunteers help the charity to deliver essential services in local communities, providing support to over 300,000 children, young people and their families. This role provides a great opportunity to join our fantastic children’s services and help make a real difference.

Newry Child Contact Centre provides a safe, friendly and neutral place where children of separated families can spend time with one or both parents or other family members. Volunteers work as part of a team to prepare the Centre for families to help create a friendly atmosphere to help them feel at ease.

Children’s Activity Support volunteers work across a range of groups, from Children’s Centre’s with pre-school children and Short Breaks services for children with disabilities, to Mental Health Support Groups and Young Carers Groups.

We are looking for volunteers, with a passion for making a difference in children’s lives, a fun and approachable attitude and an ability to engage young people in worthwhile and enjoyable activities.
