Who can volunteer?
Anyone with time, enthusiasm and commitment (no qualifications or previous experience necessary).
We welcome interest from all sections of the community and recognise the value in having a diverse volunteering workforce in terms of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, faith and ability.
We also encourage existing, or former, service users to contact us to talk about their options for volunteering within the organisation or elsewhere.
