Supported Volunteering – Level 1 Voluntary Work Skills Accredited Course.

*To accommodate restrictions associated with COVID-19, we’re delivering the level one qualification via Microsoft Teams and Moodle.  

Volunteering can be as beneficial for volunteers as it is for the people and causes that volunteers’ support. 

Our supported volunteering programmes bring participants closer to the opportunity that’s right for them, combining work towards a level one qualification, with volunteer taster sessions in a range of settings.   

Our programme is free to people:

• Aged 14 and over
• With autism and/or learning difficulties
• Facing Mental Health Challenges
• Who would like to volunteer but don’t feel ready

Apply to join us in April 2021, or refer an individual to us by:
