Did you know?
- There’s a volunteering opportunity out there for everyone – whatever your age or ability!
- Although volunteers aren’t paid, you will be able to claim back expenses such as bus fares.
- If you claim benefits, you can still volunteer – we can check and make sure you stay within the rules.
- Yes, some roles require special checks, but actually, it’s not as common as you might think. DBS checks are only needed for certain roles (so working in certain situations with certain people), and the check is just about keeping people safe. (So that thing that may have happened when you were a teenager may not be a problem – but we can have a chat about it if you’re worried.)
- Volunteering doesn’t need to be a big commitment – you can help out in a way that fits in with you.
- We provide proper support, induction and training, and it’s easy enough to take a break if you want
