    Scouting Leader

    Scouts

    This opportunity takes place between 09 Jul 2025 and 31 Jul 2026

    Scout leaders help children and young people take part in a wide range of activities.Please note that volunteering with Scouts is offered as an external opportunity: Warwick Volunteers has no direct contact with Scouts and cannot support individual queries.

    You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We’re talking about tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We’re talking about mini bus drivers and first aiders. We’re talking about students who want to boost their CV, and parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family.

    Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in the local town hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread a group of very hungry eleven year olds - no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.

    We provide the training. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life.

    As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting.

    South Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind

    This opportunity takes place between 09 Jul 2025 and 31 Jul 2026

    If you’d like to use your people and listening skills to support others to better wellbeing, then this role could be for you! Volunteers will support a child or young person (aged 5-17) by acting as a mentor to them. They’ll provide the opportunity for the younger person to continue to build their resilience and confidence to improve their mental health and wellbeing through the development of real life social and practical skills.

    At Coventry, Warwickshire & Worcestershire Mind, we know that the importance of maintaining and improving children and young people’s health is so important. Healthy children are more likely to become healthy adults. As part of this role, volunteers will mentor a child or young person and support them to put together and carry out a Wellbeing Action Plan.

    The aim of the mentoring programme is to provide the opportunity for the younger person to continue to build their resilience and confidence and improve their wellbeing through developing practical and social skills in line with the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’. Volunteers will equip the child or young person to develop coping strategies and mechanisms for self-help.

    Volunteers will:

    • Meet weekly with a child or young person, either online or in person (this may be a combination of both depending on the needs of the person)
    • Actively listen to the child or young person
    • Support the child or young person to put together and carry out a Wellbeing Action Plan
    • Prepare for ongoing sessions to check in on how things are going
    • Provide ongoing support until the sessions are completed (we anticipate each child or young person receiving up to 6 sessions as part of this programme)

    This volunteering role does not require any specific skills or experience. We are looking for people who are:

    • Keen to help make a difference in the local community
    • Able to demonstrate empathy and a friendly and welcoming attitude
    • Good communicators who are able to actively listen
    • Willing to learn and be creative in finding solutions
    • Able to demonstrate good organisation and planning skills and reliability
    • Able to support and empower others to identify and make beneficial changes to support their wellbeing

    We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, including those with lived experience of mental health challenges or with an academic interest in the issues that affect mental health.

    Anyone can contribute to the map! Warwick volunteer mappers use satellite imagery to trace buildings, roads and other features to create new map data that can be used to plan for disaster response and other life saving activities. 

    We hold weekly sessions (on a drop-in basis: come whenever you like and stay for as long as you wish!) where experienced mapper and new mappers work together on the same project, learning from each other. The great thing however, is that you can also map at any time and place that is convenient for you! Once you have learned the basics, this is an activity that can easily be undertaken on your own to help more people in need.

    All you need is a laptop and some enthusiasm to learn a new skill! Help us put vulnerable communities on the map!

  • If you’d like to use your people and listening skills to support others to better wellbeing, then this role could be for you! You will support children and young people (aged 5-17) in an activity group setting. You will help coordinate and facilitate the group and will be a friendly face and consistent point of contact for the children and young people that attend.

Some may involve activities focusing on the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’, and activities for these may be delivered by external providers with volunteer support.

    The aim of the groups is to facilitate peer support for children and young people, increasing their confidence and providing them with coping strategies and mechanisms for self-help.

    Volunteers will coordinate the activity groups and support with their delivery. Specifically, they will:

    • Help with the setting up of group sessions on the day
