Volunteer Hub

So you know exactly what you’re walking into — no surprises, no pressure.

🧭 Before you arrive

• You’ll receive event details ahead of time (location, timing, and any updates)

• Sessions are held once a month on a Sunday

• You don’t need to prepare anything in advance unless we specifically mention it

🤝 When you arrive

• You’ll be greeted and given a quick run-through of the space

• We’ll explain your role for the session (it may change slightly depending on needs that day)

• You’ll be introduced to key areas like:

  • Sensory zones

  • Calm spaces

  • Activity stations

  • Entry/check-in

🌈 During the session

• The environment is child-led and low-pressure

• Some children may be non-speaking, some may be highly energetic, some may need quiet space

• Your role might include:

  • Helping set up or reset activities

  • Supporting sensory play

  • Keeping an eye on spaces

  • Helping families feel welcome

  • Stepping in where an extra pair of calm hands is needed

There’s no expectation to “entertain” children — just to support a safe, steady environment.

🧠 Important to know

• Every child is different, and regulation comes first

• Sometimes the best support is giving space rather than interaction

• You’ll always have a lead contact on the day if you’re unsure about anything

• It’s okay to ask questions — we’d rather that than assumptions

💛 The vibe we aim for

Think:

• calm, not chaotic

• supportive, not performative

• flexible, not rigid

• community, not corporate

If you’re kind, patient, and willing to be present — you’ll fit right in.
