Further Information

You will receive an invitation three months after your induction training to discuss your experiences so far. We offer a similar opportunity on an annual basis to discuss your expectations, activity, answer any questions and provide relevant updates. Timings of these catch ups may vary depending on the time commitment involved in your role and this will be communicated to you.

You will also receive regular general communications from Shared Interest, as appropriate to your role. This may include; a volunteer e-newsletter, online and in person meet up opportunities with other volunteers to keep you up to date with Shared Interest and the wider volunteer network. You will also have support from your staff contact regarding issues relevant to your role and individual activity.

We ask that you maintain regular communication with your staff contact and / or the Volunteer Engagement Manager to let us know of any planned activity and of any issues you may be experiencing in your volunteer role (see ‘Inactive volunteers’ section).

During your registration, you will be asked about any personal health and safety requirements you have in order to carry out your role safely and provide us with an emergency contact for yourself. It is your responsibility to decide what information you share with us. It is also your responsibility to update us of any changes to your health that may affect your volunteering and emergency contact details held by Shared Interest (see Data Privacy Notice for Volunteers).
