About this opportunity: | Do you believe that children should be safe and happy? You could join an amazing team of volunteers who strive to ensure children's voices are heard. Half a million UK children experience abuse every year. By volunteering with NSPCC you can help to change this. As a highly valued Speak out. Stay safe volunteer, you will help protect a generation of children, helping them understand abuse and giving them the confidence to speak out if they need help. Last year in Scotland they spoke to 60 thousand children. With your help they can do more. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to visit primary schools in West Fife twice a month to deliver classroom based Speak out. Stay safe workshops for children aged 6-11 years. You will make a huge difference to children in Scotland, learn and develop valuable skills and take pride in empowering children to speak out and stay safe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
