Well-being
  • Yes, we are still keeping our online recruitment open at present and will continue to progress applications as far through the journey as we can.
  • At present, no. We won’t be doing any face-to-face interviews until government advice changes.
  • For new volunteers who are yet to undertake their training, you’ll be placed on a waiting list until our full training service resumes.
  • All of our Employer-Supported Volunteering is postponed with immediate effect. A representative from your company will notify you if they’ve organised a volunteering opportunity for you between now and the end of Summer, they will notify you.
