Becoming a Volunteer

Our working definition of a Volunteer as opposed to a referred service user is someone who can be given a task, can carry out that task unaided and assist another person (either volunteer or service user) in completing the task. 

We are committed to equality and diversity regardless of age, race, nationality, religion, sexuality, disability or gender.  If you have some skills that would benefit the Centre and are interested in a Volunteer placement with us, you will be asked to come in for a tour of the site and complete an application form. We will also ask you to complete a DBS form (even if you have one in the current position that you are in) as we do have vulnerable adults on site. 

Once appointed, you will undergo an induction process supported by a member of staff to cover the aims, policies and procedures. You will also be provided with a job description and an agreement.  Training is ongoing and primarily informal, arising from day to day experiences and encounters.  

LionMouth, wishing to avoid exposing volunteers to risks to their health and safety, adheres to the principles outlined in its Health and Safety statement. A copy of all policies and procedures, including the Health and Safety Policy, are available to volunteers and held in the manager’s office. We also safeguard the interests of our volunteers with Public Liability Insurance.

Please note that Volunteering places are limited so there may be periods where it is necessary to implement a waiting list. 


CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & TEAM BUILDING

Does your company have time to give one days work volunteering at LionMouth Rural Centre? Its great for team building and helps us out at the same time. We have had voluntary days given by Northumbrian Water, Durham University (Research department and Finance Department) and The DWP. 

Tasks have included spiling (willow weaving) along the salmon pass, digging over the vegetable terraces, sorting out our woodworking workshop, pricking out summer bedding, staining and repairing outdoor furniture and lots lots more. All abilities accommodated and teams can be catered for as well.
