About Action House

Over the last fifteen years, we have developed our services and our remit to work with a variety of complex and specialist groups of vulnerable people: such as those with substance misuse, mental illness, victims of abuse, and young people. In addition to helping people secure and maintain accommodation, we also facilitate personal development; access to other services and opportunities; support and opportunity to find meaningful occupation, and overall to help people change their lives for the better: reducing the cycle of hopelessness, risky behaviour, and homelessness.

Action’s ethos is to work holistically with each individual customer. We focus on their strengths and aspirations, involve them in decisions and ensure that they lead in the development of their support plans. We always aim to work in partnership with other agencies, seeking to minimise the disruption and intrusiveness of repeated interventions and information gathering, whilst ensuring customer safety. Designed to recognise the emotional journeys and enormous achievements that customers make in overcoming significant disadvantage, our motto is ‘Enabling our customers to achieve extraordinary things’.

What may you be asked to do-

  • Run cooking classes and healthy living and life skill classes in the resource and Kitchen area, to people aged 18 – 24 in Newbold.

Ambulance Youth Programme Volunteer

Our youth programmes give young people the opportunity to learn first aid alongside other important life skills. They operate throughout England.

Badgers (Ages 7-10)
Our fun and adventurous Badger Setts are packed with activities for children so they can learn important life skills in an exciting and safe environment.

Cadets (Ages 10-17)
At Cadets it’s all about fun, community and developing your skills. You can learn first aid, earn your Grand Prior Award and volunteer within your community alongside our First Aid volunteers.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals as Youth Team members who are keen to develop their own skills whilst supporting the development of our young people and helping them to learn how they can help and care for others in the community.

Be part of a team that empowers and supports young people
As one of our Cadets or Badgers youth team volunteers, you’ll be trained to provide our young people with both life skills and life saving skills, all while having fun!

You’ll be volunteering with Badgers (aged 7-10) or Cadets (aged 11-18). You’ll help to support them to care for others, gain new experiences, and learn important life skills, including first aid.
You’ll have the chance to design your own role. This could involve running fun activities, such as outdoor events, summer camps, or providing more ‘behind-the-scenes’ support.
You’ll also have the chance to learn first aid. As well as the opportunity to become a Youth Leader with the support and guidance from a friendly volunteer manager.

This is a flexible volunteer role. Whether it’s once a week or once a month, you can volunteer as much or as little as suits you and your lifestyle.
