Project Volunteers

What is Volunteering? It's about giving your time to do something useful, without getting paid (apart from expenses).

In return you get the satisfaction of time and effort well spent. In addition, volunteering can be a great way to: meet new people, learn new skills and gain useful experience. It should also be fun!

Whatever skills and experience you have, there is something that you can do.

There are no age-limits on volunteering, but we will need to carefully consider the suitability of people under-16 or over-65, mostly for insurance reasons.

As a Volunteer you will be subject to a CRB check

Volunteering wth the Sickle Cell Centre you can expect: payment of out-of pocket expenses (eg travel), a clear idea of what your role will be, appropriate training and support if you aren't clear about anything, and someone to ask if you are ever unsure.
