Leah's story

I was a green t-shirt young leader and I helped out at one of the klubs in the community. I was a bit worried when I started because I’m pretty shy. But everyone was really supportive, nobody judged me, and I landed up loving it! They never make me do things I didn't want to but they encouraged me to try new things so I could feel really proud of myself. I started just helping out with the little ones, when they were scared or shy and then got braver and tried lots of new things.

“There is always someone you can ask for help!”

And through the young leader development programme they helped me recognise the skills I was using for when I go to interviews. It was so useful for my university application and I am now studying Psychology at university.

Eveen tells us about helping out at a Hub Klub and on a Kidz Klub visiting round.

Alex’s Story

After taking early retirement from 30 years in a busy office environment, I suddenly had a bit of free time on my hands. I have been involved with Kidz Klub before and so decided to volunteer in the office for one day a week. I was surprised that my skills were transferrable from a large to a small office environment and my being there helps free other staff members up to spend more direct time with the children.

“Kidz Klub has given me a role and a purpose outside of full time employment. I work with a fantastically supportive, committed and enthusiastic team. I am able to be flexible with my working hours and feel valued and respected for my contributions”

Alex has been volunteering for Kidz Klub, in one way or another, for over 20 years now.

Lily’s Journey

“I was university student and started volunteering on a weekly visiting round. I had to volunteer as part of my social care course and Kidz Klub Leeds came into Uni on Freshers week.

I really enjoyed it! We met really lovely families and it’s such a blessing to be invited into their homes and share time with them. It was also really good experience for my course. 

“Volunteering in Kidz Klub has been so valuable to me. The team are lovely and it helped me become more confident in situations I will need for my future job role”
