Current Volunteer Opportunities & Info Sessions
Volunteer information sessions (Ipswich, Bungay and Halesworth schools)
Volunteers make an enormous difference to the range of opportunities that our schools can offer children, and are a unique opportunity for individuals and organisations us to partner with our local communities in a meaningful way. We hold regular Volunteer information sessions, where we'll provide information about the various volunteering opportunities available in our schools and all the ways you can contribute. You can also meet some of our existing volunteers and witness firsthand how volunteering with us benefits not only our schools but also our children.Â
Our Volunteer opportunities range from reading with children, helping fund-raise, supporting day trips, gardening, painting, talking to children about your hobby, craft or work and mentoring. If you are an organisation you might to like to work with us on fundraising activities and projects, sponsorship of children, resources or awards, or a broader partnership project.
