Volunteer Group Support

Volunteering with Change Grow Live in Warwickshire is a great way to make a real difference in people’s lives whilst gaining valuable experience. Whether you want to give back to your community, develop new skills, or meet like-minded people, there are plenty of reasons to get involved.

What you’ll do:

• Support our group sessions alongside experienced coordinators
• Help plan and prepare activities
• Promote sessions and encourage attendance
• Engage with service users and provide one-to-one support
• Receive full training and ongoing guidance

An important part of the role is listening to people and sharing what you have heard with the service, representing their views, and using their feedback to help inform how we develop and improve our services. You will help to ensure people hear about any decisions or changes that are made because of their feedback. You will be working with Change Grow Live staff and connecting with the wider community.

What You’ll Get Out of Volunteering   

• Personal Growth – Build confidence, learn new skills, share your expertise and gain hands-on experience in health and social care
• Career Development – 20 hours of online training modules, accredited organisational training, gain insight into the sector and boost your CV for future opportunities  
• Make a Difference – Support people in their recovery and help create safer, healthier communities
• Flexible Opportunities – Fit volunteering around your schedule with a variety of roles available
• Join a supportive team – Work alongside passionate, friendly people who share your values
