We’d like to say a great big thank you to all our amazing Young Leaders this 🙌

​Because you’ve experienced the challenges firsthand, you don't just lead—you relate, you inspire, and you show our younger sections what’s possible.

​Thank you for being such role models and for turning your lived experiences into a guide for others. We are so proud of you! 🌟💼

"I’d love to help, but I work full-time/ have kids/don't have the hours." 🕒

​We hear you! Modern life is busy.

​You don't need to commit to every single week or even be a leader. We always need help behind the scenes with admin or a food shop, or sharing your hobby on a one-off evening—there is a spot for you!

​It’s great for your CV, great for your mental well-being, and brilliant for our community.

​💬 Send us a message to see how volunteering can fit around you.
