What will I get out of volunteering?

You can learn new skills, build confidence and meet new people. Volunteering also supports you to put your faith into action, and help build a stronger community where you live.

You will bring your unique skills to this volunteering experience. But in return, we will support you with:

• Training
• Signposting to opportunities and information
• Regular volunteer meet ups
• On call support

Who can volunteer?

Volunteers must be over 18. There is an application process that involves and informal interview, a basic DBS check and an induction training session.

We are a countywide project and anyone who lives in Nottinghamshire can volunteer with us.

What you might be doing

Wayfinder volunteers share their experience, strengths and­ hope ­to support people to move on with their lives. They­ work with participants to achieve their personal goals.

• You might help with money – planning a weekly shop or working out how often and where to top up the electricity meter.
• You might help someone ‑ fill out an application form, either­ on ­paper or online.
• Someone might need help making a GP appointment, finding a ­food bank, or with some simple recipes.
• You might help a participant get to know their neighbours, or find local activities or groups.
