​Volunteer to help with The Travers Foundation

Help local young people aged 13 to 30 unlock opportunities in sport, music and the arts. We are looking for volunteers across admin, events, fundraising, marketing, communications and practical support.

Who we are looking for

We would love to hear from people who are warm, reliable and community-minded, positive and willing to get involved, able to give a little time and energy, and interested in helping young people fulfil their potential.
​
You may already have relevant experience, or you may simply have the right attitude and a genuine wish to help. Both matter.

​A small role can make a big difference

Not everyone can give huge amounts of time, and that is absolutely fine. Even occasional support can help us achieve more.

A few hours, a valuable skill, a helping hand, a meaningful connection, or a great idea can all create a lasting impact on a young person’s future. Not everyone can commit large amounts of time, and that's completely understandable. However, even minimal support can lead to remarkable results. Your contribution matters!
