Many of the activities described above take place each weekday, with the exception of the Community Larder which is just on a Thursday, most involve some driving. Training will be given for the specific activities mentioned. A DBS (criminal record check) will be required for those roles that give volunteers access to details of the people being helped and/or confidential information. Sharing Life will organise this for you if you don’t have one.
