Our volunteers - the heart of hoodex

At HoodEx, volunteers aren’t just helpers—they’re the heartbeat of everything we do. From mentoring and coaching, to fundraising and admin support, our volunteers make change possible where it matters most.

Every hour given, every skill shared, and every conversation offered helps a young person in Tyneside and beyond take positive steps away from crime, gangs, and negative influences.

“I never imagined I could make such a difference just by showing up each week. Watching a young person grow in confidence has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.” – HoodEx Volunteer

We’re proud of our volunteer team and the difference they make every single day. Whether you’re a mentor guiding a young person, a fundraiser bringing fresh energy, or someone working quietly behind the scenes—together, you’re changing futures.
