 A Helping Hand

• Stuck for ideas?
• Concerned about how volunteering will affect your benefits?
• Unsure about how long a CRB check will take?

We realise that the prospect of finding the right volunteering opportunity can be rather daunting!

For this reason, we have put together a handbook for young people looking to volunteer.

This handbook provides guidance on issues such as matching your interests to a volunteering opportunity, advice on how volunteering will effect your benefits, CRB checks, volunteer awards and a directory of opportunities.
