Volunteers

Our Volunteering programme for the youth club is currently suspended, but we still need volunteers for both multisport and gardening.

6 Week Volunteer Programme with Our Barn

Choice of:

1. Youth Club - Sundays, 3pm to 6pm Redlees Park, Isleworth
2. Gardening Project - Mondays or Fridays, 10am to 3pm Osterley Park, Isleworth
3. Multi-sports - Tuesdays, 6.30pm to 8pm various venues

Our Barn supports young people with learning disabilities or autism make a successful transition to adult life. Staff support our participants by providing guidance, prompting and encouragement as needed, and taking part fully in activities alongside the young people.

Discuss your availability with the team leaders and a 6-week programme will be allocated to you. We can reimburse travel expenses and offer a light snack on Sundays, or lunch at gardening. Depending on the setting, activities can be basic gardening skills, sport, music, art or anything creative. We can help with inspiration when you run brief activities if needed. We like upcycling and making things from ‘nothing’.

We expect a commitment of between one-and-a-half and four hours per session, depending on the activity, assisting with all tasks at the youth club and set up or clean up at gardening. Applicants must be aged 18 or over.

In the first instance please contact Karen Adams, Manager, Our Barn on karen@ourbarn.org.uk  or 07847 380095
