Volunteering with IWCIC

Invisible Walls Community Interest Company is looking for compassionate, committed volunteers to help support children and families affected by imprisonment - one of the most overlooked and isolated groups in our communities.

As a volunteer, you will play a vital role in creating safe, welcoming spaces, offering emotional support, and helping children feel seen, heard, and valued during incredibly challenging times.

Whether you can give a few hours a week or support specific events and projects, your time could make a lasting difference in a child's life. Join us in building stronger families, breaking cycles of disadvantage, and ensuring that no child remains an invisible victim.
