Volunteering opportunities

As our work supporting children and families continues to expand, we’ve got some exciting volunteering opportunities within our charity.

We’ve popped details below and if there’s any opportunities you’d like to discuss further please do get in touch with us at [email protected].

We are organising Meet Up events for the child growth community to meet other children and families affected by growth conditions and growth concerns. We’re running these across the UK at a range of locations and venues and we’d love to hear from those interested in working with us to organise a Meet Up in your area.

We have an opportunity open to young people aged 16-25 years who have, or had, experience of a growth condition or concern, to become a Youth Ambassador and help with our new Youth Ambassador Programme to make sure that young people’s voices are heard on matters that affect you.

We have a dedicated and enthusiastic Board of Trustees, who play a vital role in the governance and strategic vision of our organisation. We have opportunities for individuals to join this voluntary Board, and in particular we are keen to hear from from those with knowledge in and/or experience in Fundraising, HR, Digital, Marketing and/or Medical.

Our Peer Support Group programme has been launched, with groups established by volunteer group leaders in different locations in the UK. We’re looking for volunteers who’d be interested in setting up a Peer Support Group, be it in your local area or to hold virtually, and for a specific condition or to support various conditions.
