Volunteering can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re helping young people get skills for life, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way.

Scouts can make you feel good in other ways too. We’ll guide you to an opportunity where you’ll:
- Make friends and meet people
- Try new things and challenge yourself
- Get outdoors and get stuck in
- Positively impact your community
- Create vital opportunities for young people
- Make memories that'll last a lifetime

If you can only occasionally help, that’s OK. Whether you’d like to be an activity planner, instructor with specific skills, tea-maker or craft creator, we appreciate any time you can spare.

Every summer, disabled adults and children all over the UK start getting ready to do something they’ve never done before – going away on holiday! For many, Sense Holidays are the first time they leave home and family for an adventure of their own. It’s such an exciting week!

These holidays are a chance for new experiences, new friendships and making memories that’ll last a lifetime. You’ll be there as our holidaymakers dance, sail and horse ride their way through each day. There’s no end to what they can do.

By volunteering, you’re also giving families and carers a break from supporting their loved ones. Having this week to themselves means so much, especially when they’re able to relax knowing that we’re keeping everyone safe and happy.
