Volunteering

Here at Red Kite, we couldn't achieve everything that we do without our amazing tenant volunteers. They make a positive difference in their community by helping to shape the services we provide. Our volunteers have an important role in making sure that we remain truly tenant-led through everything that we do.

Our volunteering opportunities

We have a wide range of volunteering opportunities, from feeding back on new development plans, sitting on interview panels, and even becoming a Red Kite Champion. There's something to suit everyone depending on how you want to get involved, and how much time you want to spend with us.

Volunteering can help you learn new skills, gain experience and really help make a difference.

This graphic shows the different stages of the volunteer lifecycle.

When we work with our volunteers we aim to identify and addresses obstacles and barriers within the volunteer journey. We understand the the importance of capturing and holding a volunteer's motivation early, and we use marketing, communications, and recruitment and retention strategies to enhance and maximise this volunteer lifecycle.

Engagement and Recruitment: Committed to diversity and inclusion in our engagement approach.

Orientation and Integration: Reinforcing support and expectations to help volunteers feel confident
