L’Arche Liverpool is a diverse and inclusive community where people with and without learning disabilities share life together in mutual respect, support, and friendship.
Part of the international L’Arche movement, we have been based in Liverpool since 1976, offering supported living, day activities, and a sense of belonging for adults with learning disabilities. Our community life is built on relationships, creativity, and care, where each person is valued for who they are, not just what they do.
Volunteers play a vital role in our mission. Whether you are sharing time in one of our houses, supporting activities at our day service, or bringing your unique skills to the wider community, you are helping to build a more compassionate and connected society.
Volunteering with us is about mutual growth. You will learn from people with different experiences, contribute to a meaningful cause, and become part of a joyful, purpose-driven environment.
We welcome individuals from all backgrounds who are open to connection, growth, and shared humanity.
We’re currently looking for enthusiastic student volunteers to join us in creating an inclusive and supportive environment. This is a fantastic opportunity for your students to:
Make a meaningful difference in the lives of others
Develop valuable skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership
Gain hands-on experience in social care, event support, or creative workshops
Enhance their CVs with accredited training and references
At L’Arche Liverpool, we believe that everyone—regardless of ability—has something unique to offer. We are a community where people with and without learning disabilities live, work, and grow together in mutual friendship, respect, and joy.
As a volunteer, you’ll join a welcoming and values-driven environment that places relationships at the heart of everything we do. You’ll have the opportunity to support adults with learning disabilities (our "core members") through a wide range of activities—creative sessions, community events, shared meals, reflective gatherings, or training workshops.
Whether you’re looking to build experience in social care, education, or community development—or simply want to be part of something meaningful—there’s a place for you here. We offer flexible volunteering (2–6 hours per week), full training, and ongoing support. You’ll grow in empathy, confidence, and connection while helping others do the same.
Join us in making Liverpool a more inclusive and compassionate city—one relationship at a time.
