Latest news 

Thousands of us are already doing it, but organisers at National Volunteers' Week, reveal that many more are needed to help keep weekly kids activity groups going.

About

Across the UK hundreds and thousands of children and young people want to take part in organised activities but are currently unable to due to the lack of adult volunteers.

Without the help of adult volunteers many organisations such as the Scouts and Girlguiding UK simply could not function.

The Brownies alone need at least 7,000 volunteers to keep it going.
