Activity Leader (Ascot, England)

  • Over The Wall (Clacks)
  • VO94977
  • One-off volunteering

Description

Over The Wall is a UK based charity for children and young people with health challenges and disabilities, and their families, to discover a world of mischief and magic. A place where they can be brave and have fun with others.

These amazing places are in-person – at residential camps and also available online – with Camp in the Cloud and Camp 365. And what’s more, it’s all free!

Join their activity team to run some fantastic sessions that have been planned by the activity team and will be taught to you so that you can confidently run them and help bring some fun and excitement to the sessions.

Over the Wall are looking for some amazing people to take on a role as Activity Leader at their Camps in 2023. Do you have a secret talent you’d love to run as an activity? E.g. Arts and Crafts, drama or sports? They’ve previously had origami sessions and woodwork that they could not have run without their amazing volunteers coming forward to provide.

Camp is 2 - 5 days long and you will be required to arrive one day early for training. They will give you all the necessary training and support and provide your accommodation and food for the duration of camp.
