An Independent Visitor (IV) is a responsible, reliable and committed adult volunteer who develops a friendship with a child or young person who is in care. You will take part in activities that you are both interested in at least twice per month.
Some children in care can feel isolated and visits with you enable them to develop their trust, confidence and allow them to make happy memories.Examples of visits have included going to the farm, trips to the panto, playing footy in the local park, visiting your favourite place to eat and special treats, such as going to a concert. All expenses are paid for by the charity.
This is an amazing opportunity for you to become a positive role model to children and young people who have experienced trauma and sadness. They have also lost important relationships with their families. All of the children and young people that have an IV say that they are a lot happier because of it.
