Are you passionate about the power of creativity?
Volunteer with Little Green Pig as a Story Mentor or Illustrator.

Little Green Pig is a creative writing and mentoring charity, offering free writing workshops for children young people across Sussex. We’re looking for volunteer Story Mentors and Illustrator Mentors to support our Eastbourne after-school club, which runs weekly from 3.00-5.30pm at Leaf Hall, term-time only.

Mentors work alongside our workshop leaders, providing children and young people, aged 7-18 with in-depth support, helping to create a safe space for them to write for pleasure and purpose.

At Little Green Pig we believe that offering children and young people the opportunity to develop writing skills and invest in their imaginations can truly change their lives. It’s a vital form of self-expression that builds confidence, communication and literacy skills - and it’s fun!
