A couple of hours of your time will make a tremendous difference. To us, and maybe to you as well. Whatever your skills and availability, you’re an essential part of our team. That’s no exaggeration, either. Without your help we’d be unable to effectively deliver many of our fundraising events, and without your experience we’d be unable to reach as many people as we do.
Whether it’s putting together a team for a 10K run, organising carol singing in a shopping centre, or sending an message out on social media to family and friends about what we do, there are multiple ways you can get involved in our life-changing work.
Never think that you have nothing to offer, and never think that it will cost you money. Volunteering is a gift of your time and skills, so we’ll never leave you out of pocket.
“Thanks for the opportunity to volunteer at Insomnia. I really enjoyed my time at the stand - the staff and the other volunteers were awesome!”

In the last year we’ve been able to offer opportunities as diverse as joining our stand crew at big gaming gaming expos, erecting marquees at charity runs and stewarding at private classical concerts.
We’ll look to match your skills, preferences and location to our volunteering opportunities as they arise, but you’re welcome to chat to us at any time if you have any questions about volunteering, or if you’d like to be put in touch with someone who’s helped us previously to get an idea about what’s involved. Email us at volunteer@specialeffect.org.uk or call us on 01608 810055.
Normally, yes. But we've been overwhelmed with so many amazing volunteer support offers recently that our tiny team need a bit of time to make sure we can handle them with the care and appreciation they deserve. Thanks so much for wanting to help us out though, and we'll get the form back up online just as soon as we can.
