No qualifications are required, however past experience working with substance users, rough sleepers or vulnerable people is a big plus. A DBS check will be provided for successful applicants.
We currently are looking for volunteers who are available on Wednesdays or Thursdays, between 10am-2:30pm.
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Read what Noor had to say about her time at ben’s centre
“ My time at Ben’s Centre was a truly wonderful experience. The team immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable and I made special relationships with a lot of the clients. It is a place like no other offering a stable and comforting environment for clients and staff and I am grateful to have been a part of it. Ben’s truly does feel like a sanctuary and I learnt so much in my time there. I felt like I was part of something special and valued every minute. Places like Ben’s Centre show there is hope and kindness in the world and for this I want to thank everyone I met there. “
