22/05/2026 @ 03:51

The National Youth Advocacy Service is a wonderful children's rights charity dedicated to supporting and empowering young people who have experienced care.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers in Welshpool/Montogomery and surrounding areas to befriend and mentor a young person in care. 

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in a young person's life!

“It gives you a friend that you can spend time with doing the things you like to do” - Young person

Children and young people in care truly deserve an adult who can share their time, engage in fun activities, and build a trusting and meaningful relationship. Your visits can easily fit into your schedule, allowing you to juggle your commitments while being a positive role model for a young person.

"Volunteering with NYAS has reinforced my belief in the crucial role of community support in empowering the next generation.  Witnessing the positive changes and growth in the young person I support highlights the tangible impact that dedicated volunteers can have on building a brighter future for vulnerable individuals."  - Volunteer

We kindly ask for just a few hours once a month for a minimum of two years. 

A set budget will cover activities and travel expenses so you can focus on making a difference without any worries.

Expectations

  • Two-year commitment
  • Minimum age of 18
  • Based in the UK
  • DBS check
  • Digital risk assessment compliance
  • Completion of training relevant to the role
  • Ability to complete online tasks and reports

This is a worthwhile opportunity where you will make a positive difference to the life of a vulnerable young person, become part of a leading national children's charity, gain valuable experience, meet new people and have fun!
