Description

Are you ready to make a difference in a child or young person's life?If you're someone who loves fun activities and cherishes one-to-one time, then becoming a volunteer with our Independent Visitor Service might be the perfect fit for you!But what exactly is an independent visitor?Imagine providing support and friendship for children and young people in care, those who are looked after by Surrey County Council and reside in foster care or children's homes. That's the essence of an independent visitor - a dedicated volunteer aged over 21 who visits, supports, and advises these children and young people.Who could benefit from an independent visitor, you ask?Children and young people typically aged 10 to 17, who lack regular contact with family members or simply crave the joy of a regular visitor. Our children come from diverse cultures and backgrounds, each with their unique needs waiting to be fulfilled.What's in it for you?- Enjoyment from spending quality time with a child.- Immense personal satisfaction from making a positive impact.- Comprehensive initial and ongoing training.- Dedicated support and backup every step of the way.- Reimbursement of agreed expenses to ensure your commitment is sustainable.What do we ask of you in return?- Just one visit per month, usually over the weekend.- A commitment to volunteer for at least two years, providing continuity and stability for the child.- Your energy, time, and passion to enrich a young person's life.- Active participation in independent visitor support groups and training sessions.- Your consent for an enhanced criminal record check (DBS) and personal references, ensuring the safety and security of the children we serve.Ready to embark on this rewarding journey?Contact us directly via email at or call Veronica on 07929 728 935 to secure your spot or for more information.
