Volunteer Opportunities
Following a successful first pilot in a school on the South Coast of England, we are now partnering with another charity based in the Manchester area who share our passion for improving the health and wellbeing of children through nutrition and physical activity.
In one of the most important voluntary roles within the Collaboration for Kids (CFK) project, you will be responsible for delivering our fun and interactive nutrition-based intervention to a group of Primary School children (8-10 year olds) and their families.
Volunteering in a small, supportive and friendly team, you will deliver bi-weekly face to face sessions in a family after school club starting at the beginning of the Autumn Term (September 2024).
You will also play a key role in building relationships with the children and families and may be asked to assist in the collection of baseline and post intervention data, providing feedback and learnings to assist in continuous improvement and innovation.
Full training will be provided.
