Youth Projects - Volunteering

The Better Together Volunteer Project recruits, assesses, checks and trains volunteers for a variety of projects in the Peterborough area.

 

The projects engage with young people in need of support usually between the ages of 10 and 17. Some of these young people are already within the criminal justice system, or displaying behaviour which puts them at risk. Other young people are children in care and some are young carers, but all are in need of encouragement and support.

 

Volunteers become involved in a variety of activities with the young people ranging from one to one mentoring and befriending to encouraging participation in sport, drama, art and other positive activities, both individually and in groups.
