Employers offering a short workplace taster
Could you offer a short, one-off workplace taster (around 1–5 hours) so a young person can experience your workplace?
No long placements and no pressure — just a simple, supported introduction to the world of work.
Volunteering as a Job Coach
Job Coaches help young people build confidence through encouragement and practical support around tasters and future opportunities.
At this stage, we’re gathering expressions of interest — details, training and checks will follow once funding is in place.
Suggest a local business who might be interested
Know a local business who might be open to helping?
You can suggest them (or introduce us) so we can invite them to offer a taster or become involved in another way.
Volunteering as a Peer Mentor (Parent/Carer lived experience)
Peer Mentors are parents/carers who can offer a listening ear and gentle signposting to other families.
This is not counselling — it’s support from someone who understands, with clear boundaries and guidance introduced once funded.
