We are always looking for volunteers. You could work with us on a long-term work placement, or it could be to cover one of our summer projects. Whatever you do with us, we will make sure you are fully trained and that you get the very best support and experience.
Our Volunteers
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of volunteers who contribute their time and effort to assist us with a range of projects. Without these individuals generously donating their free time, our work would simply not be possible.
Our Ambassadors
At BSBCIO we believe that having a voice and taking action is a great way to improve your mental wellbeing. Encouraging our young people to find their voice and take action provides the opportunity to generate real community change, something we believe is important.

Special Projects
Our summer projects are often one day a week over a five week period. If you are looking for some short-term work experience and would like an insight into working with children and young people, please get in touch.
Work Placements
As part of our partnership with Newcastle University, we provide a year's work placement for a Psychology undergraduate. This is a true partnership in that we get an amazing young person to work with and they get some great experiences to help them decide on a career path that they would like to take after graduating. If other institutions would like to get involved, please get in touch.
Corporate Support
As part of your social value contribution as a company, you could volunteer to support us on one of our projects. A brilliant example is Haines Watts. As well as nominating us as their charity, they are providing workshops for LinkedIn profiles, mock interviews, and organising visits so that our young people can experience a working environment. Members of staff have also given up their time to conduct podcasts for our Careers section. It would be great if you could offer our young people work experience. We are always open to suggestions , if you can help, please get in touch.
Sponsorship of our Volunteer Eddie Thomas, at Ashington FC
As a charity we are always looking for opportunities to support our young people. Eddie regularly volunteers for the charity at our youth clubs and he has also done a great deal of work at our community garden. What better way to support him than to sponsor him as part of his football team as a player at Ashington FC. We look forward to seeing him play over the coming season!
