Got two hours? Use them well.

Something happens when you stop thinking about your own week and start showing up for someone else's.

The loop in your head goes quiet. And somewhere between a chaotic game of basketball and an evening of making something, you realise you're actually having a really good time.

That's not an accident. That's Dreadnought.

77% of volunteers say volunteering improves their mental wellbeing. That's from the NCVO's Time Well Spent report, a national survey of over 10,000 adults. But our latest campaign film, made in partnership with students at Falmouth University, puts the human story behind that number.

What two hours actually looks like

When you volunteer at Dreadnought, you're not just filling a rota. You're bringing yourself, your energy, your humour, and your willingness to get stuck in into a space where it is genuinely needed. You are bringing respect, understanding, and a spirit of collaboration to a young person who needs to be heard.

After 50 years of working with children and young people across Cornwall, we know that connection changes things. Resilience grows. And more often than not, the person who walks away feeling transformed isn't just the young person in the room.

Ready to make your mark?

We provide all the training and support you need from day one. All we ask is that you show up, listen, and be open to having a genuinely good time.

Requirements: 18+, DBS checked, and ready to play.

Don't just watch the change. Be part of it.
