Volunteering at Pecan

We have a strong belief in the benefits of volunteering for both the volunteer and for Pecan. It's a rewarding experience to be able to invest time into people. Pecan works with over hundreds of unemployed people every year and has been able to provide a better service to them because of the support and help of a large number of people, many of whom who have given their time freely as volunteers.

If you are interested in playing a part in the ongoing transformation of people's lives and you are keen to gain valuable experience in a stimulating and rewarding work environment, then please read on.

There are many areas of Pecan’s work that you could get involved in but here’s a few examples to whet your appetite. We would be pleased to meet you to discuss other options further.

Mentoring and Befriending clients - A rewarding role which could be for one or two hours a week, helping on one of our courses eg. an ESOL course or with our back to work programme for ex-offenders, Workout, or with PEEP our work with young people not in education, employment or training.

One to One Support - Giving just a few hours per week to help on our courses like ESOL provision, helping with application forms, reading or IT, makes such a difference to the people you’re helping
