What qualifications would I need?
None! You don't need to have had previous volunteering experience – just a commitment to helping others and making a difference in your community. It's open to anyone aged 16-25 and all people need is have bags of enthusiasm and can join in for at least a few hours a month, ideally for around 6 months to a year.
People can be involved at the level which fits in with their other commitments and there will be support along the way. It's a great opportunity to play a leading role in the community, be part of a team and improve your CV or your education, employment or life opportunities.
