For many children and young people, living in foster care can be unsettling. Having someone there just for them can make all the difference. That someone could be you.
An Independent Visitor is an adult who meets with a child or young person who is in care, to do a fun activity together. This helps the young person to do what they enjoy and provides them with a positive adult role model. The consistent friendship helps the young person to build self-esteem, confidence, and resilience.
Pre-agreed volunteer expenses are reimbursed , such as personal car mileage and any agreed fees/expenditure from the session with the young person (entrance fees, refreshments, etc).
