Volunteer with P3 Charity

We offer flexible volunteering hours based on your availability, which will be agreed during the registration process.

For most individual volunteering roles, we ask for a minimum of 6-month commitment to help give consistency and continuity for our services and the people we work alongside, but the actual hours our volunteer each week or month will be entirely dependent upon your role.

Roles vary widely, including administrative support, walking buddies, translation assistants, group facilitators, advice assistants and more, including activities specially designed for teams.

Our volunteer roles are as diverse as our amazing volunteers themselves. Whether you’re providing practical support to people experiencing homelessness, offering administrative support in our offices or lending a hand in our community hubs, every role plays a vital part in creating positive change.

If you’re searching for volunteer opportunities, we have a role description to suit you – whether that’s support work directly with people visiting our centres or assisting behind the scenes.

Every volunteer role takes place in a safe environment, with full training to help you build confidence, develop skills and make a real impact. By giving your time, you’ll be making a difference in your local community and changing lives for the better.

Many roles don’t require previous experience and we provide training where needed. In order to deliver certain support services or volunteer opportunities, we may need particular skills, but we’ll note that on the role posting where it’s required.

Most roles require volunteers to be aged 18+ and most of our individual volunteering roles require a background check (DBS) to be completed before starting your post.

Most of our roles don’t require specific skills or experience – just a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

We offer some student volunteering opportunities and Duke of Edinburgh volunteering opportunities. To discuss these roles, reach out to our Volunteering Team.

Individual volunteers will need to provide two references. These could be from an employer, school, community group leader or personal contact.

If you’re worried about being able to provide two references, reach out to our Volunteering Team who can help you identify what might qualify as a reference.

All volunteers are given training and an induction to start their role, as well as ongoing support and supervision (feedback) from a dedicated supervisor. In addition to receiving support from the service you’re working in, you’ll also be supported by our Volunteering Department throughout your journey with us. If you’re volunteering to learn specific skills or as a way into employment, let us know and we can help track your progress to show potential employers.

We think the most rewarding volunteering experiences come from really clear expectations, both from us as a charity and from you as a volunteer.

You may want to have a look at our Volunteer Handbook, which gives an overview these expectations and our promise to our volunteers.
