Volunteer With Us

No, most of our volunteer roles do not require specific skills or prior experience. We welcome people from all backgrounds and provide guidance where needed. 

If you do have particular skills or expertise, we would also love to hear how you might like to use them to support our work.

This varies depending on the role. Some opportunities involve regular weekly volunteering, while others may be one-off events or flexible roles. We aim to work with your availability, so volunteering can fit around your other commitments. 

Most of our volunteer roles require basic training and onboarding, which will take time to complete. 

If your time is limited, we would be happy to explore other opportunities to get involved with STAMMA's work, such as one-off volunteering opportunities.

We aim to ensure all volunteers feel confident and supported in their role. Where appropriate, we provide training, guidance and ongoing support from our staff or experienced volunteers.
