Become part of a growing community helping to support people living with scoliosis across the UK.
Join The Curve is our volunteer programme, bringing together individuals who want to make a real difference in their local communities — through awareness, events, and meaningful connection.
You don’t need prior experience, and you don’t need to commit to a specific role straight away. If you care about supporting others and want to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
Why Volunteer With Us?
Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. By giving your time, you help us:
- Raise awareness of scoliosis across the UK
- Reach more individuals, families, and communities who need support
- Deliver events and initiatives that bring people together
- Amplify lived experiences and voices
Volunteering with us is flexible, supportive, and designed to fit around your life.
What Our Volunteers Do
Volunteer involvement can look different for everyone. Depending on your interests and availability, you might:
- Support awareness campaigns and community outreach
- Help with local or national events such as Step for Scoliosis
- Connect with schools, workplaces, or local groups
- Share stories, information, and resources
- Help us understand where support and participation is happening across the UK
We’ll always talk through options with you and help find a role that feels right.
Who Can Get Involved?
Anyone aged 18+ who is passionate about making a difference is welcome to register their interest.
You don’t need:
- Medical knowledge
- Previous volunteering experience
- To have a personal connection to scoliosis (though many do)
Just enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to help.
Safeguarding & DBS Checks
Many volunteer roles involve no direct contact with children or vulnerable people. However, where a role requires it, we follow best practice safeguarding procedures.
This may include a DBS check, which we’ll always discuss with you in advance and support you through where needed.
Register Your Interest
If you’d like to get involved, the first step is simply to get in touch.
Email us at: 📧 communications@ssr.org.uk
Tell us a little about:
- Where you’re based
- Why you’re interested in volunteering
- Any skills or interests you’d like to share (optional)
We’ll then be in touch with more information and next steps.
There’s no obligation — just a conversation to explore how you could be part of Join The Curve.
Together, we can raise awareness, build understanding, and support people living with scoliosis across the UK.
