Volunteer
We are a volunteer led charity that appreciates we could not provide our services without the continued support of our large volunteer team. We pride ourselves on being an approachable, friendly and personable organisation to all.
Kathy welcomes the opportunity to speak informally with anyone who may be interested in volunteering with us. Together you can work out what role would best suit and she can explain next steps. We try to be flexible to enable as many people as possible to volunteer. Volunteers would only help out in areas they feel happy with.

We thank our volunteers by offering a paid lunch during volunteer’s week, presenting our annual “Extra Mile Award” and offering a paid lunch at Christmas too. We also offer many training opportunities and reimburse all out of pocket expenses.
NB: Some of our roles require satisfactory completion of DBS check. The cost of this is paid for by the charity.
