In a city grappling with the cost of living crisis, rising crime rates, and pervasive worry, it's easy to feel helpless. London is a city of dreams, but for many young people, it can also present unique challenges. Access to positive spaces, mentorship, and opportunities to develop crucial life skills can be limited. We saw a need for a fresh, vibrant approach to youth work – a place where young voices are heard, and potential is unleashed.

-
Champion the Cause: Represent Urban Youth to partners, funders, and the wider community.
-
Create Culture: Foster a spirit of inclusion, energy, and purpose across everything we do.
Ready to Lead the Way?
This is more than a role—it’s a community. Help us turn isolation into connection, worry into hope, and potential into reality.

We're STAMMA. We exist to create a world that makes space for stammering. Where a stammer is embraced as just a difference. Where no-one judges us on our stammer or the way we choose to deal with it.
We will stand up for and empower those who stammer and challenge discrimination wherever we find it. We will provide support and information and fight for speech and language therapy services for those who want it. No matter how you talk, we're here for you. Join us and help the public understand that stammering is not a sign of being shy, drunk, dishonest, nervous or weak. It's simply how some of us talk.
We provide a free national helpline, email and webchat service, online resources and information, support for local groups and professional networks, for families with children who stammer, and an Advocacy Service for those who have been discriminated against because of their stammer.
STAMMA’s Helpline Services include our phoneline, webchat and email support services and are a hugely important part of STAMMA’s work. This is frontline stuff, responding to people reaching out for information and support. It’s a great opportunity to spend time chatting with people who stammer, as well as their parents, grandparents, teachers and employers, taking the time to make space to listen and to value what they have to say. Where appropriate we then signpost people to useful information, support and services.
We use a virtual call centre which means you can take calls and webchats from home, using a desktop or laptop computer.
Our helpline is manned by our amazing volunteers from 10am - 2pm (our morning shift), and from 4pm - 8pm (our evening shift), Monday to Thursday. We are looking for dedicated volunteers who can commit to one of the following shifts on a weekly basis:
Monday: morning or evening
Tuesday: morning or evening
Wednesday: morning
Thursday: morning
We think that you (and our callers!) will get the most out of this opportunity if you're able to volunteer with us for at least 12 months or more. By gradually learning and developing your confidence in the role, you can have the biggest impact.
About the role
Working within our Helpline Services, we’re hoping you’ll feel comfortable to:
- Take helpline calls (listening and speaking on the phone)
- Respond to webchats (reading on-screen messages and typing responses)
- Sending occasional emails
If you wish to, you can also be linked to an area of project work. That way, if the helpline services are quiet during your shift, you can get involved in other areas of STAMMA’s work. Project work is likely to involve reading and reviewing documents and resources, contributing to discussions and campaign ideas, and helping develop new resources.
We provide structured, online training that you can complete at your own pace, but is likely to take about 8-10 hours in total to complete. Following the training, you’ll have practice helpline calls and webchats. If you feel ready after that, you’ll start working in the helpline services. Ongoing support includes:
- Monthly helpline services meetings where you can meet other helpline volunteers. These monthly meetings include a short training session and discussion where we share and learn from our experiences of different calls and webchats.
- We have a WhatsApp group where you can keep in touch with other volunteers.
- Volunteer supervisors are available for one-to-one support and discussions.
- Access the training modules as many times as you want.
Who are we looking for?
You’re likely to enjoy volunteering in the Helpline Services if you:
- have a genuine curiosity about people and their experiences
- are able to understand written and spoken English
- are comfortable enough to speak on the telephone
- are comfortable with basic email functions
- have good administration skills
- enjoy listening and talking to people
It’s not essential to stammer yourself if you’re interested in working in our helpline, but it can be an advantage if you do, or if you are the parent of a child who stammers. Many of our callers find it really helpful to know that they’re speaking to someone who really ‘gets it’ and who has that personal insight into some of the issues and questions they have.
This is a volunteer role is remote, so you will need access to:
- a quiet place where you can work in privacy and not be overheard during calls
- a mobile phone or landline
- a computer or laptop
What can you gain from this opportunity?
This is a wonderful opportunity to join a small and friendly team! We'll make sure you're supported in every step of your journey, and you'll get to meet some inspiring people. You'll gain skills that you'll be able to use in all areas of your life and build experiences for your CV. Most importantly, you will make a real difference in the lives of people who stammer.
How to apply
To apply, please fill in our volunteer form that is linked to this opportunity.
We are dedicated to making sure our roles are accessible and open to all. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us,
We exist to create a world that makes space for stammering. Where a stammer is embraced as just a difference.

If indeed we want to build an inclusive and sustainable world, digital inclusion has to be at the forefront of our endeavours. Project Adesso aims to address the quality of education, digital divide, promote inclusion and responsible consumption and production.
The project will engage with various stakeholders and organisations to carry out their corporate social responsibilities through the project. Ask people to donate their old but functioning laptops Crowdfund to enable the purchase of other necessary accessories
In the end, this will be given to selected public schools. The hope is that through this project, the digital divide over time will lessen and also increase in digital literacy among young people.
