Many opportunities are only suitable if you can commit a reasonable amount of time.  This is because of the investment needed to train and supervise a new volunteer.  However, it is always worth asking about flexibility.

Points to Remember when Team Volunteering

  • Agree a date well in advance – to fit with you and your host

  • Think about the size of your team – sometimes smaller is better

  • Be clear on costs – there is a fixed charge for some team days, in particular for large teams, to cover staff time.  Some organisations may request a contribution towards materials.

  • Before the day – do you know where the activity will take place; who is your contact on the day; what clothes should be worn; are refreshments provided?

  • Volunteer safely – do you understand the risk assessment for the activity?  Is insurance in place?

  • Take lots of photos – share them with your colleagues, friends and family to generate great publicity for the charit
