How do I become a volunteer?
You don’t need any previous experience to become a volunteer, but we do look for certain personal qualities such as reliability, honesty, good interpersonal skills and the ability to work as part of a team. A volunteer must be at least 16 years of age but, there is no upper age limit.
To get involved, contact the Volunteer Manager or one of the Locality Volunteer Co-ordinators below and they will have a chat with you, provide you with an application form and arrange an interview.
