Volunteer

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord

Ephesians 6 : 7 NIV


From a one-off event to a weekly commitment, whatever your gift and skills, we’ve got a role that would suit you! You don’t have to be experienced working with children and young people, there’s always plenty to do.

“Everyone should get involved with SUMT because we are really fun!” – Hannah Grove, Curriculum Coordinator

Here are some of the ways you can volunteer with SUMT:

A group of children playing a game on the beach. Volunteering doesn't always have to look like this
Thin metal folded round a wooden block with a design pressed in. Volunteering could be assembling metal tapping tiles.
Cupcakes in an oven. Volunteering could be baking cakes
A pair of scissors and green card offcuts. Volunteering could be cutting leaves
A van containing resources for a curriculum day. Volunteering could be loading a van
A photo of a measured cup of oats. Volunteering could be measuring pulmentum ingredients
A white cross made out of pipe cleaner. Volunteering could be turning a pipe cleaner into a cross shape
Bookmarks saying "Reach up, reach in and reach out". Volunteering could be hole punching bookmarks and tying string to them
A light canvas bag with a shoulder strap. Volunteering could be sewing journey bags
Two teenagers playing a game. Could you volunteer regularly
Teenagers smiling. Could you give an hour each week to help at a lunchtime club
A table that children are colouring at. Could you give an afternoon each week to help at an after school club
