Volunteer Handbook & Safety Guide
Your safety is of utmost importance to us and our handbook and safety guide cover the basic, important information you need to volunteer with us, from health and safety processes and training, to outlining what you can expect from us, and equally what we ask of you.
Please make sure you read both documents before you begin volunteering with us, and if you have any questions refer to your staff lead in the first instance.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts with us in our annual volunteer survey this summer. We’ve provided a summary of the results here – Survey summary October 2024 – and are working to include your suggestions for improvements and ideas in our 2025/6 volunteer programme plan.
