Children's Visit Host – Welcome & Engagement Lead

Become a Lifeskills Volunteer Host – Welcome Children to a Life-Saving Adventure!

Are you passionate about making a difference in young lives?

As a Volunteer Host at Lifeskills, you’ll be the first friendly face that Year 6 primary school children meet, welcoming them and their teachers to the Centre and setting the tone for an unforgettable day! You’ll kick off their visit with a fun, interactive quiz that introduces key safety concepts and gets children excited to explore our immersive, hands-on learning experiences.

During the guided tours, you’ll support teachers and children with practical activities—such as practising 999 emergency calls in a safe, controlled environment. At the end of the session, you’ll deliver a brief closing talk to reinforce what the children have learned, helping them leave confident, empowered, and ready to make safer choices in their daily lives.

We provide full, personalised training at your own pace, and you’ll always be supported by a friendly, experienced team. Volunteering sessions last 2.5 hours, and you can choose mornings (9:30am–12:00pm) or afternoons (12:30–3:00pm), Monday to Friday during term time.

This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to make a real impact, meet like-minded people, and develop new skills—all while having fun!
