Ways to volunteer
At fundraising events and challenges
If you're looking to volunteer on an ad hoc basis, we'd be grateful for your support to help our fundraising events run smoothly, and to cheer on participants at our challenges.
We always have lots to look forward to in our calendar from marathons, to community events, to large-scale fundraising gala's.
At school and in your community
Make a difference in your community - from running a stall at the local fete, organising a fundraising event, helping with bucket collections or spreading the word with leaflets and posters.
Your support will help to raise vital funds and awareness for Teens Unite, wherever you are in the UK.
School work experience or D of E Award
A limited number of placements are available throughout the year to teenagers and young adults at our site in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire for school work experience or D of E Awards.
We believe in presenting young people with opportunities to learn new skills, and gain valuable life experience.
Placements usually consist of varied tasks across the teams at our Head Office, from fundraising to marketing.
Through corporate support
From CSR days, to team building opportunities or lending your professional services or expertise.
Volunteering through your organisation is a meaningful way to step out of the office and make a valuable difference.
Whether you’re a small group or a large team, Teens Unite provides tailored volunteering opportunities to organisations that support us.
Take on the £10 Challenge
Teens Unite’s £10 Challenge is a way to volunteer your time and raise vital funds – no matter where you are in the UK.
Perfect for schools, organisations, and community groups, the challenge fulfils volunteering commitments for work experience, and Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
It's a great team-building activity that encourages creativity, entrepreneurial thinking, and a little friendly competition.
Start with £10 to kickstart your fundraising, and reinvest to reach your target.
For organisations, it's a way to unite colleagues, boost morale, and motivate teams, whilst making a valuable difference.
For students, it's a way to develop valuable life skills - from budgeting and teamwork to understanding investment and the power of giving back.

"The Year 9's have absolutely loved the £10 Challenge, and it has been a great opportunity for them to understand the importance and value of raising money for charity."
