Volunteers

Volunteers are the crucial to the success of the Hampton Trust. 

They use their skills to the advantage of the families, children and young people they are supporting, encouraging them to complete agreed goals, address the issues they face and access activities and parenting courses. 

A volunteers’ greatest reward is to see the life of the family, child or young person they are working with transformed and despair replaced by hope, ambition and trust.

The Hampton Trust recognises the value of the volunteers involved in the work and strives to support them in every way possible through supervision and on going training.  Our programmes have gained recognition from various statutory agencies and schools for good practice and life changing achievements. The success of these programmes is due to the commitment and dedication of our volunteers. There is a growing recognition by the government of the value of good parenting and one to one support to families, children and young people and the potential for this kind of early intervention to help prevent family breakdown, social isolation and potential entry into the criminal justice system.

These are just some of the comments made by our volunteers….

“It’s great to see the changes in the young person”
“It takes time to build trust with the young person, but once this is in place issues can be dealt with easier” 
“I know that I am making a difference”

These are a few comments made by young people who have been supported by our volunteers.…

“I’m glad I’ve got someone to talk too now”
“I don’t want it to end”
“Can we keep in touch?”

All potential volunteers who apply to the Trust are interviewed and assessed throughout the accredited NOCN (National Open College Network) training programme and are subject to two satisfactory references and an Enhanced CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check.

Volunteers make a difference, change lives and raise hope and ambition for the most vulnerable.
