Volunteer

The involvement and commitment of volunteers is vital to the support we are able to offer to those using our services. Our 140 + volunteers contribute enormously to our work and enable us to reach out and support many more people. They come from a wide range of diverse backgrounds, contributing varied work and life experiences.

Volunteers don’t require formal qualifications but do need to have some important qualities. They need to be:

  • Good listeners
  • Interested in people
  • Open and non-judgemental
  • Committed to rights and equality
  • Respectful towards the views of others
  • Calm and patient

Volunteers receive free initial and on-going training. We support our volunteers through reviews, meetings, social events and newsletters.
