There are a number of areas that volunteers can support our team in the office. Some of these roles are project specific and as such have a beginning and end, which may suit people who cannot offer a long-term commitment or are looking to volunteer between jobs, in university holidays, etc. Others are ongoing which are suited to volunteers able to make a regular commitment.
For office based support, generally volunteering takes place Monday – Friday, morning or afternoon. Due to limited desk and computer space our office can normally only accommodate one volunteer at a time, so generally volunteers work for either an afternoon or a morning.
