Volunteering with Spring House

Are you interested in Volunteering at Spring House? 

What can I do to help? 

We have lots of opportunities to choose from including:
  • Helping out in the crèche. Helping out at parent and child sessions: chatting with parents, helping with craft activity or making snacks.
  • Fundraising
  • Administrative work

How much time do I need to give to volunteering?  

Just two to three hours per week would make a real difference to the services we provide.   In order that you are able to carry out your volunteering effectively, we provide regular supervision and formal and informal training.  We also hold quarterly volunteer group meetings.  Refreshments are provided as we want this to be an enjoyable experience where volunteers can get to know each other.        

What do I get in return? 

We are aware that if you do decide to volunteer with us you will be freely giving time, enthusiasm, skills, experience and knowledge.  In return we will: 

  • Give you a warm welcome and provide you with relevant induction and training to be an effective volunteer
  • Provide regular opportunities for you to give feedback and talk about your experiences as a volunteer.
  • Pay your volunteer expenses
  • Work with you to make your volunteering experience rewarding and enjoyable

What is expected of me as a Volunteer?

Your volunteering can make a real difference to people’s lives.  To help this happen we expect you to be committed to the tasks you agree to do, for as long as you volunteer. 

We would expect you to:

  • Be committed and reliable – e.g. if you couldn’t make an arranged time for any reason let us know as early as possible.  This allows us time to arrange cover.
  • Respect people, and their views, whatever their background or beliefs.
  • Keep confidentiality – information about the Centre and our Clients is confidential.
  • Attend relevant training.
  • Tell us if you have concerns or are not happy.  

Every volunteer will require an enhanced CRB (Criminal Record Bureau).
