Volunteers help individuals who have experienced domestic abuse through offering practical and emotional 1:1 support. This can be through joining them as they go to appointments and court visits as well as signposting service-users to other services that can provide further help.

Our Volunteering Services
Independent Visiting
This service has volunteers working with children and young people who are in the care system up until the age of 18. They build trusting and long-term relationships through taking part in a wide variety of positive activities that are fun for both the child in care and their Independent Visitor.
What’s required to become a Volunteer with Jigsaw4u?
With our volunteers working directly with the young people and families that we support; we ensure that our selection process is thorough and extensive for the protection of our service-users and prospective volunteers.
Prospective volunteers must complete an application form which is then reviewed by our Volunteer Coordinators. Steps are then followed to complete checks on those who would like to volunteer, which includes an enhanced DBS check.
Once these checks have been reviewed and we find an applicant is eligible to volunteer with us, we then hold an interview. Following this, Jigsaw4u’s Volunteer Coordinators fully assess the applicant’s ability to Volunteer with us.
If the applicant is successful, and they accept the offer to volunteer with us, we then provide specialist training led by our Volunteer Coordinators which should equip Volunteers with the knowledge needed to start volunteering. This is then followed up with support by our Volunteers whenever they need it.
