This is the A-Team
This is the A-Team
If you have a problem, if no one else can help… Then you can get support from Hope. Hope, in turn, gets a lot of support from its Advisory Team – the A-Team.
A group of volunteers, aged 16 to 25, spread around the UK, who work to promote the voices and share the experiences of young people with a loved one who is seriously ill.
Not everything is black and white
From consulting and supporting the activities of Hope, to public engagement and lobbying, we work to ensure that the experiences of young people with a seriously-ill loved one are reflected at all levels of society, from the local to national (and even international!) levels, and in different areas, from public organizations to private enterprise.
No two members of the Advisory Team have the same story, no two members of the Advisory Team have dealt with things in the same way but every member of the Advisory team has experienced what it’s like to be inside a family health crisis and is committed to opening up society so it better understands and reflects those experiences.
We’re not recruiting… today
The A-Team is frequently on the look out for new volunteers who can support our work to engage the public and promote the voices of young people who’ve been through serious family-health crises.
At the moment we don’t have any vacancies, but if you’re interested, why not sign up for the newsletter and be sure to check the box for volunteer opportunities. That way you’ll be the first to know when new slots open.

Supporting Hope’s young people
Our first piece of work was to provide consultation on Hope Support Service’s new mobile App and digital services, working directly with the development team at Superbeinglabs in London on everything from design to functionality.
Offering new perspectives for researchers
We worked with the National Institute of Health Research in Birmingham as well as the Children’s Research Centre based at the Open University, adding a unique viewpoint to their excellent work.
Media work and insights
We provide testimony and documentary services for TV and Radio, helping to bring the hidden perspectives of young people out into the open.
