Right now, our chaplaincy team want to expand the support they offer. We currently run sessions to engage, encourage and come alongside residents at our Westover Road site. But we want to offer pastoral support across even more days of the week. Could you help us?

What happens next.
All our volunteers become part of the wider Y family and bring fresh energy to our staff teams. To join us, you will need to complete an application form. We will then arrange to meet you face-to-face. It’s important to come and visit us on site so you can see for yourself and feel confident you can support us. You will also need to complete a DBS check and our induction programme.
