VICTA is looking for proactive and enthusiastic volunteers to help support and encourage families in our brand-new Wilderness Challenge!

Based at the Scout Association’s impressive 109 acre site, the weekend will include a mixture of challenges and tasks designed for children aged 10 to 17 and their parents. This activity is designed to challenge family groups while giving them the chance to develop confidence and resilience in a safe and supportive environment.

Staying in dorm-style shared accommodation where VICTA has exclusive use of the building, we ask that volunteers support families with accessing the activities, facilitating social opportunities and bring a friendly, energetic face to the weekend. Volunteers will be expected to share a room with other VICTA volunteers and/or VICTA staff.
