Volunteer With Us
Not all volunteering looks the same.
The Essex Hub CIC supports children and adults through structured outdoor wellbeing provision.
Our sessions are calm, small-group, and designed for people who don't engage in traditional settings.
Volunteers play a role in supporting that environment.
This is not casual volunteering.
It's structured, supported, and part of a wider system.
Where volunteers fit
Volunteers support delivery partners during sessions.
That might include:
- ✓Helping set up and pack down
- ✓Supporting individuals in a calm, low-pressure way
- ✓Being an extra pair of eyes within small groups
- ✓Assisting with basic tasks during sessions
You are not expected to:
- ✗Lead sessions
- ✗Provide therapy or advice
- ✗Manage behaviour alone
Who this suits
This role suits people who:
Are calm, patient, and reliable
Are comfortable in outdoor environments

Experience is useful but not essential. Attitude matters more.
What to expect
Sessions are structured and small-group
Environments are outdoor and low-pressure
Some participants may be quiet or take time to engage

What you get from it
