Supporting information
We believe that everyone can benefit from volunteering - we are very open to helping anyone from the criminal justice system if they want to get involved in volunteering. We can provide on-going support as well as training opportunities.
However we have recently had to introduce a charging / membership scheme as we have not received funding for the past 3 years!!" Our work with volunteers has changed many peoples' lives from 16 yr olds right up to 80 yr olds!! We work closely with each indivisual volunteer to ensure that their placement is the right one so that they enjoy their volunteering. Our staff have many years experience of helping people into the right volunteering placement. Also through our Infrastructure activity we are able to provide support and advice to other VCS organisations.
