Becoming a Volunteer

If you decide to become a volunteer there is a simple process to ensure that the volunteering placement is right for you and that you are right for the organisation you are going to help. Potential volunteers are asked to:

  • Complete an application form
  • Provide 2 references where required
  • Attend a confidential informal interview to match their interests to a particular activity so we can give you information about potential placements
  • In some instances it will be necessary to complete a Criminal Record Bureau check

All volunteers will be subject to the policies/procedures and good practice guidelines of the placement where they choose to volunteer.

 

You can access many of our opportunities by visiting the national volunteering website at www.do-it.org

and you can contact us for more detailed information about volunteering opportunities or volunteering issues.

 

Volunteering is also open to employers - why not encourage your employees to volunteer in work time, working as a group?  This not only gives larger projects the input required it also encourages team building and camaraderie among the workforce.
