faq's

How much time do I need to volunteer for?

The amount of time needed is different for each role and also depends on how much time you have to give. Some roles require a regular time commitment, others are more flexible or short term only.

Can I be paid to cover my expenses?

We reimburse reasonable expenses that arise from volunteering‚ such as travel.

I’m working full-time, can I still volunteer?

Yes, there is a range of activities that you can fit around your work commitments, such as befriending, respite sitting and helping carers with a variety of challenges such as getting to grips with the internet.

What support will I receive?

We will make sure that you have what you need to perform your role and you know who to go to if you have a question or a problem. We will also regularly review what you are doing and if you wish, give you opportunities to vary your responsibilities and activities.

Do I need any skills or qualifications?

Many volunteer roles don’t require special skills or qualifications and you will be given any training you need. Some roles do require certain skills, but this will be stated clearly in the role description.
