Kibble believes that by involving volunteers we are bringing the local 'community' into the organisation.
It is important that the young people in our care meet with people from the local community - people who can relate well to young people.
An Independent Visitor will visit a young person for a couple of hours twice a month. The object of the visit it to be there to chat and maybe even share a hobby with a young person.
The benefits include:
You don't need any formal qualifications or experience. We are looking for ordinary people with life experience who can relate well to young people and who have a genuine interest in their welfare.
