About

Part of Hampshire County Council’s Children’s Services department, Children and Families Volunteers support children, young people and families across Hampshire. We currently have around 190 trained volunteers. Since 2015, our volunteers have been using their life experiences and skills to make a difference to young people, children and families in the county. We have a wide variety of opportunities available for people who can empathise, deliver support in a non-judgmental way and want to make a contribution to their local community. In return for your time we will provide you with a full package of training, ongoing support from our dedicated volunteer coordinators and paid expenses. Our wide range of volunteer opportunities makes it easy to find a role which fits in with your other commitments.
