It’s estimated that volunteering adds at least £20 billion value to the UK economy every year. Volunteers are in virtually every sector of society and here at NEAS we are keen to be part of this by building a thriving volunteer programme for people within the North East community to make a difference to the lives of autistic children, young people, adults and their families. 

We have a dedicated and robust recruitment and training programme designed to rapidly up skill volunteers to be able to undertake a number of opportunities which directly benefit the children, young people and adults we work with.

You benefit because you have the opportunity to:

• Gain experience
• Take steps towards a change of career
• Use your time well in retirement
• Give something back to the community
• Improve your CV
• Help raise funds
• Get involved in something new and different
• Make a difference 

We benefit because this enables us to:

• Draw on the enthusiasm, skills and experience of individuals within the local community. 
• Enhance our existing services and support the work of the Society.
• Add value to existing and new services.
• Bring a unique approach to the work of the society.

We offer a range of volunteering opportunities enabling people from all walks of life to get involved.
