It’s Volunteers Week 2023 and we’re taking the opportunity to say thank you and well done to our fantastic team of volunteers.
Over the last year, our volunteers have collectively given over 500 hours towards supporting bereaved children and their families locally. This is HUGE! We’re so proud of them all!
We’re a small charity making a big impact. We’ve supported over 3000 young people since we started 15 years ago. In the early days most of the team at Guys Gift were volunteers. As we’ve grown, we’ve gone on to employ a small staff team, but volunteers have always been essential to our success. We simply couldn’t achieve all that we do without them.
We currently have volunteers who work directly with families, volunteers who fundraise for us, volunteers who build and deliver school resource packs and volunteers who act as trustees of the charity. All our volunteers make a difference, all of them are amazing - and they make us who we are.
At Guy’s Gift we don’t need large numbers of volunteers, but we’re always looking for very special people who can help us make a difference to the lives of children and young people who have experienced the death of someone special to them.
We’re currently looking for volunteers to help us with:
Our Bereavement Support Day in Kenilworth on 1st August 2023,
Group sessions in Kenilworth and Nuneaton during the autumn term (there will be other locations and dates throughout the year too),
Fundraising at a time to suit you,
Building and delivering Bereavement Resource Packs to local schools,
Support with social media and website content,
...and we’re open to ideas for new volunteering opportunities.
If you’re feeling inspired to join our volunteer team, please get in touch at volunteering@guysgift.co.uk
