Volunteer Training

Volunteer training is an important part of the process of becoming a volunteer with Women’s Aid. The training gives you the opportunity to find out about the organisation and the role you will play within the Organisation. It also gives us the chance to get to know you and find the right ‘fit’ for you as a volunteer.

After training has been completed we are asking volunteers to commit to six months volunteering in the project to help sustain the work and support the women effectively. We also ask that Volunteers can commit to 4 hours volunteering per week.

Do you have any particular skills you would bring to your volunteering role and would be happy to contribute?

For example: court/arts/crafts/awareness raising etc
