Changing Lives Through Education

Volunteers

The Foundation’s team is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers (both student and professional) who assist our staff with fundraising and communications, organising events and research. We would love to hear from you if you have a skill to offer or an experience you would like to gain.

If you are interested in getting involved, send your CV to: admin@stevesinnottfoundation.org.uk and we will get in touch about ways you can get involved.

Give Back

Many of our volunteers have worked in education and they want to continue to make a difference to the lives of others. It is a great feeling to make a positive difference in the world, and see that your actions have made the difference.

“Volunteering at SSF has been a wonderful experience for me because I was supporting a team of professionals who not only guided me through my tasks but gave me a chance to see how a small group of people can make a difference in the lives of people in places that are underprivileged and lacking basic necessities of life.”

“I am so impressed by the dedication everyone involved with the Foundation seems to devote to the aim of gender equality in education - something I feel passionately about. Congratulations to you and your colleagues on all you do; I am proud to be a supporter.”

Gain Experience

Volunteering with us is a great way to gain experience, or try something new. This can enhance your CV and improve employment prospects. You may also be looking to develop your existing skills and take on a challenge.

“A few years ago, I heard about the Foundation and its work and had been captivated by the stories relayed by Ann Beatty from her travels to Sierra Leone. There was clearly an unfaltering commitment by those involved to the Foundation’s mission of achieving universal access to education and the achievement of gender equality.…I had previously undertaken community projects and volunteered for charities, but I had never been tasked with developing a new scheme of fundraising before…Starting as a fundraising assistant at the Foundation, however, has granted me a huge opportunity to tip toe myself into this new world.”

Feel Connected

Volunteering is an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends, or take time to enjoy the company of friends and colleagues during a fundraising activity.

“I have just completed the Three Peaks Challenge, … to raise funds and awareness to ensure that every child is able to go to school. It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed the company of my fellow walkers on that blustery Saturday. I got off lightly with only one blister so I think that is good news to share and my feet are resting nicely now. When I was walking the Three Peaks with my team mates I was thinking of all the children who have not been able to learn during COVID19 as they do not have access to the internet… The Steve Sinnott Foundation has been doing amazing work during COVID19 to ensure that some of the most disadvantaged children can continue learning safely.” Funda

“My experience working with the Steve Sinnott Foundation was nothing but positive. The team that surrounded me were all so lovely and made me feel comfortable to ask questions about the organisation and the work at hand. It was great to be around people that were truly passionate about their cause which reflected in the work and general ethics.”
