Volunteers work one-to-one with older people, helping them to use their laptops, smartphones, and tablets. By improving digital skills you will help build confidence and empower people to remain independent; access important services and information; stay connected with family and friends and engage more fully with their community. As well as helping older individuals to stay connected in a new digital world, you also have the chance to talk to local people about their lives and very varied backgrounds. If you enjoy a chat and helping others then make sure to come along, we would love to have you there!

Volunteers are recruited through one combined process, with placements available in schools across Coventry, Canley and Leamington, as well as at the on-campus nursery. School Volunteers work alongside class teachers and school staff in primary schools, providing classroom and reading support. Nursery Volunteers spend time with children aged 4 months to 4 years at the on-campus nursery, supporting their development through activities such as painting, outdoor play and reading stories. Volunteering is a rewarding opportunity to make a positive difference to the lives of children and young people in your community. Through this project, you will support children’s learning, development and wellbeing, helping them to build confidence and reach their potential. Alongside making a meaningful contribution, you will develop valuable transferable skills, gain practical experience and enhance your communication and interpersonal skills. These experiences can support your future career aspirations, whether you are considering a career in teaching, working with children, or pursuing a different professional path.
