5 good reasons TO volunteer @ 
​CREATE & FLOURISH

It brings people together. 
  • Uniting people from diverse backgrounds to work towards a common goal
  • Building camaraderie and teamwork
It promotes self esteem and  
personal growth
.
  • Understanding community needs helps foster empathy and self-efficacy.
You get a chance to give back.
  • People like to support community resources that they use themselves or that benefit people they care about.
You learn a lot. Volunteers learn                 things like these:
  • Self:  Volunteers discover hidden talents that may change your view on your self worth.
  • Community:  Volunteers gain knowledge of local resources available to solve community needs.
It's good for you. Volunteering provides physical and mental rewards. 
  • Reduces stress:  Experts report that when you focus on someone other than yourself, it interrupts tension producing patterns.
  • Makes you healthier:  Moods and emotions, like optimism, joy, and having control over one's fate, strengthen wellbeing.​​​​

It's incredibly important to us that our volunteers love what they do and get back as much as they put in. So in order to prepare you for your volunteering role, we have a simple recruitment and training process in place. We ask all our volunteers to:

- Attend an informal interview.
 
- Complete an enrolment form and provide us with two referees who we can contact for references.
​
- Attend a one day training session where we will tell you more about the organisation, and how the service runs. 

- Complete an enhanced DBS check; this is a check which shows any current and spent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings. 

This process can take up to two months to complete but this can vary depending on which role you have volunteered for.
