Volunteer

Make a difference in your local community

Volunteering with Wooden Spoon is simple, all you need is enthusiasm and a desire to help. Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, and even a small amount of your time can make a life-changing difference to children and young people near you.

Why your help matters

Each year we fund around 100 projects that support disadvantaged and disabled children. But the need continues to grow, and, with your help, we can reach even more young people and give them access to the opportunities they deserve.

Ways you can get involved

  • Join a regional volunteer group
  • Support fundraising and projects in your local community alongside a friendly team.
  • Get hands-on with building projects
  • Help create or improve safe, inclusive spaces for children — sometimes in just one day.
  • Support events – From handing out materials to cheering on participants, events rely on amazing volunteers.

What you’ll gain from volunteering

  • The reward of seeing children enjoy facilities you helped create
  • The chance to meet inspiring people and make lasting connections
  • The opportunity to make a direct impact in your local community
  • Unique experiences for rugby fans, including meeting figures from the game
