Hello nicola11,

It's worth looking at all the opportunities in your area. Some regions have a volunteer bureau set up to do this. Have a look at this article (click) which provides info and some telephone numbers and links

Good luck!

Hi nicola11, did you look at the article? Were any of the links relevant to social work with children and families?

You could have a look at this webpage - Social Work Jobs, which are all salaried, however you could contact them and find out about voluntary work in your area.

Let us know how you get on. Smile
