Volunteer with Stepping Stones Learning and Leisure
Stepping Stones is a small, friendly charity in Southwark providing inclusive activities for adults with learning disabilities. We believe everyone should have the chance to express themselves, connect with others, and take part in activities that bring joy, confidence, and new skills.
We’re currently looking for volunteers to support our sessions in:
- Art (Friday mornings)
- Dance Fit (Thursday mornings and/or afternoons)
- Music (Tuesday mornings and/or afternoons)
- Social Club (Thursday afternoons)
These weekly groups offer creative, social, and wellbeing-focused opportunities for our learners, led by experienced tutors in a relaxed, supportive setting.
All sessions take place at St Faith’s Centre, Red Post Hill, SE24 9JQ (close to North Dulwich and Herne Hill stations)
What You’ll Do
As a volunteer, you’ll be supporting adults with learning disabilities to participate fully in the sessions, connect with others, and enjoy meaningful activities. Your role might include:
- Setting up and packing away equipment and materials
- Welcoming students and their carers or support workers
- Offering encouragement and practical support in one-to-one or small group settings
- Helping tutors to deliver fun, engaging activities
All sessions are led by experienced tutors, and you’ll be part of a warm and supportive staff and volunteer team who are committed to inclusion, creativity and care.
What You’ll Gain
Volunteering with us is a chance to:
- Build experience working with adults with learning disabilities
- Gain hands on involvement in creative, wellbeing and social activities
- Be part of a welcoming and friendly team
- Develop your confidence, communication and teamwork skills
- Make a meaningful contribution to your local community
- Learn from people with diverse experiences
Whether you’re exploring a career in social care or looking to give back and become a stronger link in your community, we’d love to hear from you.
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need to be an expert! We’re looking for people with the right attitude, values, and willingness to support others. Even if you don’t have experience of working with adults with learning disabilities, the following qualities are especially helpful:
- Enthusiasm and positivity. Your energy can set the tone for the group. A cheerful presence helps create a welcoming and encouraging environment.
- Patience. Some learners may take time to engage or communicate. Patience helps build trust and ensures everyone feels supported.
- Reliable and punctual. Many of our learners value consistency and routine. Being dependable helps build rapport and ensures the session runs smoothly.
- Inclusive communication skills. You should feel confident listening carefully, offering clear instructions or encouragement, and adapting your communication to meet individual needs.
- Inclusive and non-judgemental. We welcome people from all walks of life. An open-minded approach helps every learner feel accepted and valued.
- Adaptable and flexible. Things don’t always go to plan. A calm, flexible approach helps maintain a relaxed and safe environment for our sessions to run.
- Ready to get stuck in! Many sessions involve art, music or movement. You don’t need to be an expert, but a willingness to join in and get involved makes a big difference.
Prior to volunteering, we ask all volunteers to:
- Attend an induction meeting
- Provide two references
- Complete a DBS check (we will arrange this)
- Commit to volunteering one session per week for 3 x 10 week terms throughout the year. For continuity for our service users, we ask that you commit to volunteer for a minimum of a year with us.
