Volunteering for SeeSaw
Here at SeeSaw we value our volunteers as they are essential in helping us support children and young people experiencing bereavement.
SeeSaw depends on volunteers for many areas of our work. Volunteers may be trained to provide direct support to bereaved children or help us with fundraising and raising awareness about SeeSaw’s work. It is a good way to meet new people, builds essential skills and make a difference to the lives of bereaved children.
The types of volunteers we actively need
Fundraising Volunteers – Our Fundraising Team relies on many volunteers to help with events. Some of the ways that volunteers help might include taking part in bucket collections, stewarding runners, running a SeeSaw stall at a local event or by selling raffle tickets.
Volunteer Ambassadors – Our Volunteer Ambassadors give talks and presentations about our vital work to the community, represent SeeSaw at events and carry out cheque collections.

- Give something back to an organisation that has impacted on a person’s life, either directly or indirectly
- Make a difference to the lives of others
