The National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS) is a leading children's rights charity dedicated to supporting and empowering children, young people and care leavers.
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our Independent Visitor and Side by Side services, helping children and young people build confidence, reduce isolation and achieve positive outcomes.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in someone's life while gaining valuable experience and becoming part of a supportive volunteer community.
Which volunteering opportunity is right for you?
Independent Visitor Volunteer
Children and young people in care deserve the opportunity to build trusted, positive relationships with adults who can offer consistency, encouragement and support.
As an Independent Visitor, you'll spend quality one-to-one time with a child or young person, taking part in activities, sharing experiences and building a meaningful friendship.
Young Person Quote:
"It gives you a friend that you can spend time with doing the things you like to do."
We ask for a commitment of a few hours each month for a minimum of two years.
Side by Side Volunteer
Many care leavers face adulthood without the support network that many young people rely on. Leaving care can be an exciting but challenging time, with some young people experiencing loneliness, isolation and uncertainty about the future.
As a Side by Side Volunteer, you will provide practical and emotional support to a care leaver, helping them build confidence, develop independence and navigate life's challenges.
Whether it's helping them access services, supporting them in achieving their goals, or simply being someone they can trust and talk to, your support can make a lasting difference.
We ask for a commitment of a few hours each month for a minimum of 12 months.
What you'll do
Depending on the role, you could:
- Build a trusted, positive relationship with a child, young person or care leaver.
- Meet regularly for activities, outings and conversations.
- Offer emotional support and encouragement.
- Support young people to build confidence and independence.
- Help young people access opportunities, services and support.
- Promote their rights, wellbeing and aspirations.
- Maintain brief records of meetings and activities. You don't need specific qualifications or previous experience.
We're looking for people who are:
- Good communicators.
- Compassionate, reliable and non-judgemental.
- Committed to supporting children and young people.
- Able to respect and value individual wishes and feelings.
- Comfortable completing basic online records and reports.
- Willing to participate in training and ongoing support.
What you'll receive
- Full training and ongoing support from a dedicated coordinator.
- Regular supervision and volunteer support meetings.
- Reimbursement of reasonable travel and activity expenses.
- Opportunities to develop new skills and gain valuable experience.
- The chance to make a lasting difference to the life of a vulnerable child or young person.
Requirements
- Based in the UK.
- Enhanced DBS check.
- References and Digital Risk Assessment.
- Completion of relevant training.
- Ability to complete online tasks and reports.
Applicants for Side by Side must be aged 25+.
Volunteer Quote
"Volunteering with NYAS has reinforced my belief in the crucial role of community support in empowering the next generation. Witnessing the positive changes and growth in the young person I support highlights the tangible impact that dedicated volunteers can have on building a brighter future for vulnerable individuals."
Interested?
We would love to hear from you.
Apply today and help ensure that children, young people and care leavers have someone by their side when they need it most.

About Lights Up
Lights Up was established shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic to support theatre and creative activity. The timing was challenging: theatres subsequently remained closed for a prolonged period and the environment in which the charity had been established changed considerably.
The existing trustees now believe that Lights Up's charitable structure and fundraising capability could be put to wider social use. In particular, we are exploring an evolution of the charity that would enable it to provide umbrella funding and support for organisations and initiatives tackling homelessness.
No change of objects has yet been made. As part of this process, and following discussions with the Charity Commission, we are recruiting a new Board of Trustees before the proposed changes are considered and progressed.
The opportunity
We are looking for new trustees to help oversee the next stage of Lights Up's development.
One of the founding trustees will remain with the charity in an operational role as Executive Founder, reporting to and accountable to the Board. The other founding trustee will retire from the Board.
The new trustees will therefore have a genuine governance role: overseeing the charity's strategy, finances, regulatory compliance and future direction, including consideration and implementation of any approved changes to its charitable objects.
If the proposed new model proceeds, the charity does not intend to make decisions about the distribution of homelessness funding based solely on its own expertise. Funding allocations will be informed by advice from an appropriate independent third-party expert with relevant sector knowledge.
Who are we looking for?
We would particularly welcome applications from people interested in becoming a trustee for the first time. Previous charity or trustee experience is not required.
We are looking for people with sound judgement, integrity and an interest in using their skills to support effective charitable governance.
Experience in finance, law, governance, grant-making, fundraising, homelessness, social impact or the voluntary sector would be useful, but is not essential.
We are also seeking a Chair of Trustees, for whom previous governance or relevant board-level experience is expected.
Commitment
The roles are voluntary and primarily governance-focused. We anticipate approximately four Board meetings each year, predominantly held remotely, together with occasional additional input when required.
Why join now?
This is an opportunity to join a small charity at an exciting point in its development.
Rather than recruiting trustees to oversee an established model, we are inviting new Board members to help scrutinise, shape and govern the charity's proposed next chapter.
We want to be transparent about where Lights Up has come from, why change is being considered, and the responsibility the new Board will have in determining how that change is taken forward.
How to apply
Please send us a short expression of interest outlining your background, what you could bring to the Board and why the role interests you.
Please indicate if you would also like to be considered for the role of Chair of Trustees.

We are currently looking for a new Clinician Trustee who can use their expertise and strategic insight to support our growing charity at a critical time for cleft care and NHS reform.
The Clinician Trustee will contribute to all aspects of the charity’s governance while providing essential clinical expertise to support and enhance our work.
We are seeking an experienced professional to help drive CLAPA’s clinical impact in line with its strategic priorities. We are particularly interested in hearing from clinicians with experience of strategic leadership within cleft services, specialised commissioning, workforce development or national clinical networks, who can help CLAPA navigate a period of significant change and reform across the NHS.
In this role, you will offer insight into the patient journey across the evolving cleft care pathway, strengthen relationships between CLAPA and clinical teams and provide clinical guidance to inform our campaigns and initiatives. You will bring a strong understanding of patient centred care and use your expertise to help shape and influence improvements in services and outcomes.
Ideally, you will also draw on safeguarding experience from your clinical role to support the charity’s safeguarding function and promote best practice across our work.
If you think you have the experience, passion and leadership to help us meet the needs of the community we serve, we want to hear from you.
In your cover letter please ensure that you detail your skills, knowledge and experience & how they relate to this role. Refer to the Job Description & Person Specification, giving examples from work, education, volunteering or personal experience where relevant. Please ensure that the information you give is relevant to the advertised post. Experience gained outside the UK is also relevant.

- The ability to translate strategy into practical policies, processes and measurable outcomes.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- The confidence to work across cultures, countries and different organisational environments.
- A collaborative and pragmatic approach, with the ability to influence without relying solely on formal authority.
- A genuine commitment to social impact, environmental responsibility and community empowerment.
- Experience within the charity, non-profit or international development sector would be advantageous, but it is not essential.
Why join Project Yananai?
- Make your expertise matter
- Use your professional experience to help shape an organisation focused on tackling poverty and creating sustainable opportunities for communities.
- Build something from the ground up
- This is an opportunity to have real ownership and influence. You won’t simply be stepping into an established framework — you’ll help create it.
- Work internationally
- Collaborate with colleagues, communities and stakeholders across different countries and cultural environments.
- Make a lasting contribution
- Help establish the standards, culture and practices that can support Project Yananai’s growth and long-term impact.
