Details
Nepacs is a North East charity committed to promoting a positive future for individuals affected by adverse situations in their lives. With 140 years of experience in criminal justice, Nepacs has expanded its support to families, young people, children, and those affected by the criminal justice and care systems. Their mission is to offer emotional support, build resilience, confidence, and self-esteem, and provide practical information for those in need.
Much of Nepacs’ work is made possible through volunteers who bring energy, warmth, and friendship, offering reassurance in the most challenging circumstances.
Play Area Volunteer Role
Nepacs is currently looking for compassionate Play Area Volunteers to support children visiting their parents or family members at HMP Holme House, Stockton on Tees. Volunteers will offer a warm welcome and support to children in the Visitors Centre, engaging with them while they wait for their visit. Once the visit is taking place, volunteers will play with the children in the play area, helping to keep them occupied and provide a comforting environment during this challenging time.
The primary focus of this role is to ensure the welfare of the child, offering them the opportunity for positive, quality contact with their imprisoned parent or relative. Volunteers can choose to limit their involvement to the Visitors Centre if they prefer not to enter the prison.
Nepacs provides all volunteers with a DBS check for safety and security.
If you are kind, reliable, and passionate about supporting families during difficult times, Nepacs would love to hear from you.
