Are you a caring adult over the age of 18 with a few hours to spare per month? BBBS are looking for adult mentors for children, who are in need of an adult role model.

​

As a mentor, you would spend a few hours a month, over a period of a year or more, with a child that is suitably matched. You will spend time together doing simple things, such as going for bike rides or playing in the park.

​

The aim of the programme is to support children to thrive in life, giving them opportunities to walk alongside a trusted adult. This type of mentoring programme has been shown to increase wellbeing and confidence as well as improve future outcomes for the child.

Volunteer with us

We are looking for mentors from all walks of life; you don't have to be perfect, just present and able to commit to regular and consistent meet-up's with your 'little'. If this sounds like something you would be interested in exploring, please complete the below contact form and we will get in touch to explain the next steps. You will need to complete a Big Sibling Application form to tell us more about you, your motivations for volunteering and provide details of your referees to begin the application process.

​

Once you have completed the process, you will be notified of the outcome of your application, and if you are successful, you will be introduced to your Little Brother or Little Sister.

“The connection we’ve built has been so rewarding, and I’ve really enjoyed our chats and shared experiences. I’d encourage anyone thinking about it to consider becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister. The commitment is flexible — you decide when and how often to meet alongside your little and their family — and the impact you can have is genuinely life-changing, for both of you.”
"I mentor a 12 year old boy. We have formed a strong connection over the last few months and I really look forward to the time we spend together. Various activities have included bowling, fossil show, reptile centre, interactive darts, butterfly farm, Tilgate Farm and any cafe that might serve something sweet! This role has offered me incredible satisfaction, I know our Saturdays are very important to us both."
