As you would expect, all volunteers are required to adhere to certain requirements relating to Health and Safety to ensure their own safety and that of our clients - these requirements are not onerous.
Volunteers remain in control of their own time
Our volunteers define their own “rules” relating to what they are willing to do and when they are willing to do it, and you would not be asked to undertake anything which does not conform to those rules. Even so, if for any reason you would still prefer not to undertake a particular task, just say “no” - reasons do not have to be given as we want all our volunteers to know that we adopt a very flexible approach. Actual examples of this are
“I am only willing to offer transport, and only on Thursday mornings” “I will do one regular unaccompanied task each week and don’t ask me to do anything else!” “No regular tasks please, and a maximum of one request per fortnight - I don’t mind what I do”
All volunteers are entitled to claim out-of-pocket expenses - we want your time not your money!
If you are interested in learning more, do give us a call or email us. Our Co-ordinator will arrange to meet you and give you more details.
