Volunteer with us
People volunteer with us for a number of reasons, but they all have one thing in common: by giving their time they are helping to improve the lives of carers in Kingston. A carer is someone who is providing support, unpaid, to a friend or relative who has a disability, long term illness, mental health problem or substance misuse issue.
How can I help?

Volunteer feedback
‘Seeing the children having such a good time is the most rewarding moment for me as a volunteer for Kingston Carers. A little bit of my time can bring so much happiness and joy to the children. If I can do it, so can you!’
Garry, YCP Volunteer
‘I love talking to the children. One day I noticed this boy sitting quietly and I went and talked to him and he didn't reply. I left him alone and after a few minutes he started talking and came out of his shell. That makes me so happy’
Nita, YCP Volunteer
