Could you be a Volunteer Ambassador?

• Attending cheque presentation events from supporters who have raised funds for BulliesOut

• Representing BulliesOut at community events e.g., fetes, school fundraisers, coffee mornings, music events etc.

Background:  Over half of the UK’s children and young people and one in three adults at work report being bullied. In response to this, BulliesOut provides anti-bullying workshops, training, youth engagement programmes, mentoring and counselling support. Bullying is a hugely challenging issue and the demands for our work increase and we currently work with approximately 10,000 people each year.

The expertise and experience our team bring to those affected by bullying behaviour is a lifeline. Through positive and innovative anti-bullying programmes, we work to empower individuals to achieve their full potential and to face the challenges of bullying behaviour with more confidence and less fear.

BulliesOut has seen significant growth over the past five years. Despite Covid-19, we have had our most successful fundraising year to date, and we have ambitious plans to maintain this growth so we can significantly increase the number of people we work with and the support we provide.

Time commitment:  A suggested time commitment is a few hours per week, days and hours are negotiable with the organisation.
Expenses reimbursed: Travel expenses are reimbursed.
