Who’s it for

Young people in Crewe and Macclesfield who want to get involved in a volunteer training programme which includes putting on community events and taking part in Duke of Edinburgh.  We are also running a separate programme with students from Cheshire College South and West (Crewe Campus). 

What is it?

The volunteer training programme will develop essential skills for volunteering, life and work.  This will include resilience and confidence building, communication, team-working, planning and cover practical aspects such as first aid, mental health first aid, writing risk assessments and event planning.  As well as developing skills and knowledge, through the physical DofE elements, participants will become fitter and healthier.  As part of the volunteering activities, participants will co-design and deliver a series of community events.
