Volunteer
Share your patience. We'll teach you the rest.
Why volunteer
A single hour can help someone video call their grandchildren for the first time, or spot a scam before it costs them. You'll meet people from your community and build real skills in teaching and communication.
Roles available
Session helper
Sit beside a learner and help them, step by step, at their pace.
Greeter
Welcome people as they arrive, help them settle in, and make the room feel friendly.
Youth volunteer
For volunteers under 18. You'll always work alongside a supervising adult.
Venue liaison
Be the main contact with a library or community centre for one location.
Admin and tech
Help behind the scenes with bookings, scheduling and our website.
What's involved
Time
Usually one session a fortnight, about two hours including set-up. Flexible around study and work.
Training
A short induction covering how we teach, privacy, scam awareness and our code of conduct.
What we look for
Patience, kindness and clear explanations. Patience matters more than tech skill.
Safety and supervision
- Volunteers go through a screening process before helping at sessions. Requirements depend on the role and age of the volunteer.
- Youth volunteers (under 18) always work under the supervision of a responsible adult at the session.
- Parent or guardian consent is required for volunteers under 18.
- All volunteers agree to our code of conduct, which protects both learners and volunteers.
- Sessions are held in public, shared spaces — never in private homes.
