We provide a variety of in-house training for our volunteers on a variety of subjects to ensure that everyone joining the organisation as a volunteer has the correct level of information to do their role.
All volunteers receive mandatory training covering a number of key elements and there is also additional bespoke training which is tailored to the role that a volunteer will be supporting.
Volunteers are offered ongoing training throughout their volunteer journey to build and develop new skills and expertise.
