Volunteer

Community Focus is indebted to the work of its volunteers and recognises that without their input the organisation could not function.

Our commitment to providing a fully integrated and supportive environment extends into every aspect of our work.Volunteers help to maintain these values and to enhance the experiences of our users by applying their own skills, creativity and knowledge.

Our volunteers range from students to the active retired; from those looking for short term experience, to individuals keen to become long-term members of the team. Some of our volunteers also attend the classes as users themselves, while others take the chance to lead activity sessions when possible. Training opportunities are regularly available, and volunteers can take on as much or as little responsibility as their time allows.

There are several ways you can get involved in this exciting period of change and growth for Community Focus. If you would like to apply for any of the following Volunteer roles please download a copy of the Volunteer Application form and pop this into our office. All applications are subject to a CRB check. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this process.
