Frequently Asked Questions

Can I volunteer?

Anyone can volunteer. People already in employment, full-time or part-time, refugees and asylum

seekers, retired, students, unemployed and anyone else not mentioned here. Really, volunteering is

for everyone.

When can I start?

It can take a few weeks for you to go through the application and recruitment process. The one thing

that often takes the most time is the DBS police check (formerly CRB), though not all volunteering

requires a police check.

What about my expenses?

Organisations should pay your travel and out of pocket expenses. To be registered with us we require

this. Please contact us if you have had difficulty securing these expenses.

Do I need particular skills to volunteer?

Sometimes, depending on the voluntary role. But very often no particular skill is required; the

organisation will give you the right training for your role.

How soon might I be able to find a paid job after I volunteer?

There is no guarantee that volunteering will lead to paid employment. But you will get a lot out of

volunteering including new skills, experience and confidence, which can help with job prospects.

Will I get any support as a volunteer?

You should be given an induction when you start, training that is relevant to your role and

catch-ups or supervisions relevant to your role.

I am an asylum seeker - am I allowed to volunteer?

Yes - you can volunteer as many hours as you want. There are no restrictions on asylum seekers

volunteering. You are not allowed to do ‘unpaid work’ but volunteering is different.

You are allowed to volunteer in a charity. Ask us for more information.

I’m on benefits - can I volunteer without losing my benefits?

Yes, you can - plus volunteering is recognised as giving you a better chance of finding paid work. So,

you can volunteer as many hours as you like while you are on benefits, as long as you still meet the

terms for getting them. If you are claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance, this will mean you still need to

look for paid work and you must be free to start a job with one weeks’ notice.

It might be good to discuss your volunteering with your benefit agency so they are in the picture.

I am under 18 - can I volunteer?

Yes, you can. There are a range of opportunities set up for younger volunteers; you can download a

list of these from our website. If you need help doing this please call us on 0114 253 6649 or e-mail

[email protected]
