Ride Along and Make a Difference – Volunteer Minibus Escort (Woking, Afternoons)

Do you have a caring and friendly nature and an hour to spare during the week? LinkAble, a Woking-based charity supporting children with additional needs, is looking for Minibus Escorts to accompany children on their journey from school to our Afterschool Club.

This is a simple but important way to provide reassurance and support during a short trip—helping children feel safe, calm, and cared for.

  • You can volunteer for one or more days per week

Your Role

  • Help create a calm and positive environment during the short journey

  • Offer friendly reassurance and support to children with additional needs

  • Ensure safe handover at the Centre

  • Receive full training and a DBS check paid for by LinkAble

  • Comfortable being around children with additional needs
