It's good for you. Volunteering provides physical and mental rewards.

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.
