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.
