  • Improve your communication skills in this customerfacing role
  • Foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome
  • Follow important policies around safeguarding, Health and Safety, and trading regulations

Volunteering that works for you
Volunteering can be very flexible to suit you.

Training to be a Lead Volunteer can take anything from a few weeks to several months - everyone goes at the pace that's right for them.

If you're not sure about this role but want to start as a standard volunteer, get in touch and we will find something right for you.

By volunteering for a few hours a week, you will meet new people and have some fun for a good cause.


Everyone has something to offer
