The Willowbank Project runs weekly childcare sessions for homeless and refugee children at Willowbank shelter in Fallowfield.
The Willowbank Project operates at the Willowbank shelter in Fallowfield, which provides temporary housing for homeless and refugee families. Our aim is to run a weekly 2-hour childcare session in which a group of volunteers host fun and creative activities (e.g. painting, decorating cakes, gardening, watching movies, homework help) for the young children whilst providing necessary respite for their parents. This role will count towards your Stellify award and social events for participating volunteers (e.g. free pizza at Haus!) will help you meet like-minded people which makes the role even more rewarding.
We understand that volunteer’s schedules are very busy so there is no requirement to commit to volunteering every week, just help out as much as you are able! In previous years, sessions have run from 5pm to 7pm on Monday evenings, however this may be subject to change if the majority of volunteers find that a different time/day works better. We are currently looking to introduce a session on Thursday evenings. The shelter’s address is centrally located in Fallowfield making it very easy to access from the University, the City Centre, Victoria Park, Fallowfield, and Withington.
