Soulscape’s biggest project of the year is coming around again.
With Mind the Gap, we will support thousands of Year 6 students across
Wokingham and Crowthorne as they make the big transition to secondary school.
We rely on a huge team of volunteers to make this happen. Please join us this year! No experience necessary – just a friendly face, a listening ear, and a heart that cares about young people.
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Come and find out more at our information / training day:
- Tuesday 11 June

WHO CAN VOLUNTEER?
Anybody! Here are some ideas:
- University students home for the holidays
- Parents of older teenagers who have been through this already

We’ll train you, find you a role that suits you, and sort out your DBS check.
“Even if our presence just helped one child then it was totally worth it.”
