Volunteer

From day one volunteers have been at the heart of NU Start.

We simply could not reach as many people and make such a difference without their amazing support. Each and every volunteer is valuable and together they enable us to change the lives of those in need.

By volunteering with NU Start you become part of this history and join a unique network of staff and volunteers. NU Start invest in volunteers including providing training and induction to prepare you for your role.

This will be either face to face, online or both. You will have access to an online library of e-learning modules to allow you to continue developing your skills and knowledge throughout your time.

Once in your role, NU Start offers guidance and support, both from fellow volunteers and employee’s, there is always someone who can answer a question or give some advice.

Why get involved?
There are many reasons to volunteer and spend your time helping others.

Everyone will have their own reasons to get involved. For some it will be about giving back to their community, others might want to share or develop their skills, and some people may wish to connect and meet new people.

Volunteering can give you a renewed sense of purpose, new friendships and a new outlook on life. Studies have even shown that volunteers are generally happier and healthier than their non-volunteering peers.
