Why You'll Love It: 

If you want to make a real difference in your community, volunteering at Little Village provides this opportunity.

  • How a charity / not-for-profit organisation operates
  • The factors contributing to child poverty in the UK
  • What needs to change in order to end child poverty in the UK
  • Working as part of a team
  • How to support and empower families
