The Boys Brigade

read moreHelping out in a BB group with children and young people can make all the difference to young lives - meaning happier young people, happier communities and a society that values the contribution that we can all make; young, old or in-between. We call our volunteers "leaders" because they guide a course for children and young people. Many of our volunteers say they've learned things through their involvement with BB that have helped them to get new jobs or even change career. For example, as well as helping out in a local BB group, you might like to train as a Trainer and help run courses for other volunteers.

There's something for every young person whether it's camping or kayaking, first aid or five a side, music or crafts. Members develop skills, build confidence, make friends, take responsibility and are encouraged to make a real difference in their communities - sharing the values that make us who we are. Our work with children and young people is made possible thanks to our volunteer leaders who give of their time so generously.
