People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons; for some, volunteering offers the chance to give something back to the community and make a difference to the people around us. For others, it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge.
We are proud to have a fabulous team of volunteers here at Aiming Higher. Some of our volunteers are parents with a disabled child, some are siblings of disabled children. We also welcome students from colleges and universities who are eager to learn about our services and share fresh ideas and perspectives. We embrace volunteers from all walks of life to join us in helping our families to thrive.

Each volunteer brings their own individual and unique skillset to help in making life better for our children and their families. The talents of our wonderful volunteers are rich and diverse, and all are equally valuable in contributing to our work.

there is a volunteering opportunity for you here at Aiming Higher!

I volunteered for a year with our under 5s preschool group. It was an incredible experience throughout and I would like to thank the Aiming Higher team for being so welcoming. Special thanks to Latoya for giving me this opportunity and to Ella for taking me under her wing during the day to day running of the groups. I have learnt so much about this line of work, about which I am incredibly passionate. I have learnt lessons that will stay with me and certainly prove invaluable wherever I use them in the future. Lastly, thank you to the families who have welcomed me into your safe space so warmly. I know as a disabled person myself how daunting it can be to trust new people with your children. All I hope is that I’ve helped one person even half as much as you have all helped me this year.
Thank you, I’ve loved every minute.”This volunteer went on to secure full time work within a school as a 1:1 Teaching Assistant.
