Volunteer

Volunteers are vital to the work of Children North East and are used in many ways.

Volunteers are a vital part of our service provision in most areas of our work and we are always pleased to hear from people who are interested in supporting children, young people and families in need.

To become a volunteer you don't need any specific experience. Personal qualities are more important, as skills and knowledge will be gained and improved through the extensive training course offered which leads to an accredited qualification. All that we ask is that you are:

• reliable and trustworthy
• non-judgemental
• committed to helping others
• adaptable and flexible
• positive
• a good communicator

If you are interested in volunteering within any of our services then please get in touch by contacting Head Office on 0191 256 2444 or e-mail

Fundraising Volunteers

There are many opportunities to help Children North East in your local community.

Throughout the year volunteers can help with collections and raffles, helping out at events, distributing our collecting cans and helping us to broaden our links with the local community through sports clubs, school, shops, places of worship etc.

Helping us out on a one off basis is great too, especially at Christmas.
