Volunteer
Support workshops, events, and family welcome sessions
Help facilitators set up spaces, greet families, and encourage young writers during sessions.
Get Involved
Back creative opportunities for children, families, and neighbourhood partners.
Grimm And Co. Limited welcomes volunteers, schools, local businesses, artists, and funders who want to help more young people access imaginative learning, trusted adults, and practical routes into confidence.
Ways To Get Involved
Partner
Bring a school, library, or service into the delivery network
Co-design projects that connect literacy, wellbeing, attendance, and community participation.
Donate
Fund bursaries, materials, travel, and safe staffing capacity
Flexible support helps us remove the practical barriers that stop families taking part.
Champion
Share opportunities through your network and local community
Introduce new partners, circulate open sessions, and help us reach those who are least likely to self-refer.
Participation Pathways
Different routes in, shared standards of care
Volunteer readers, mentors, and event stewards receive induction, role guidance, and clear safeguarding expectations.
Schools can book story-making residencies, transition support sessions, or family engagement evenings.
Local employers can sponsor a term of activity, offer printing or venue support, or back seasonal campaigns.
Libraries, youth clubs, housing teams, and cultural organisations can host pop-ups and referral-based workshops.
Community Voice
Family Voice
“It felt welcoming from the first minute.”
Parents tell us the difference is in the detail: clear communication, warm reception, and activities that invite everyone in.
Partner Voice
“The sessions give young people both space and structure.”
Schools and local services value projects that are imaginative in tone but reliable in planning, safeguarding, and follow-through.
Volunteer Journey
A practical process for joining the team around young people
Share your interest, availability, and preferred type of involvement through the contact page.
Attend an introduction session covering expectations, safeguarding, and how sessions are run.
Start with a supported shift at a workshop, family event, or seasonal activity day.

What Support Makes Possible
Practical backing turns good intentions into regular access
Writing kits, sensory resources, and artist-led materials keep activities hands-on and inclusive.
Transport help reduces missed sessions for families balancing cost, time, and changing routines.
Volunteer time and funded staffing let us welcome participants well without rushing the room.
Shared planning with schools and local services means support can continue beyond a single event.
Next Step
Tell us how you want to contribute
Whether you can offer time, funding, a venue, a referral route, or a fresh partnership idea, we can match your input to activity that genuinely helps children and families.
