“Volunteering at Lancaster Homeless Action has made me grateful for my own life, and that I have a roof over my head”

What can I do?

We are currently recruiting for the following volunteer roles:
• Food Service Volunteers (during the week and at the weekend)
• Shift leaders (during the weekday and at the weekend)
• Fundraising volunteers
• Befrienders
• Substance Misuse Support volunteers
• Learning Support volunteers
• ‘Handyperson' volunteers

How much time do I need to give?
This depends on the time you have to offer! For most volunteer roles, we ask for at least two hours a month.

What training will I get?
We will provide a full induction, and a Volunteer Handbook for you to keep, so you feel comfortable and confident in your volunteering. You will also have all appropriate training, from first aid to substance misuse awareness. Volunteers have regular opportunities to talk about their volunteering experiences, and their input and suggestions are always appreciated.

How about expenses?
Volunteers are welcome to eat with other volunteers and our clients at the Centre. We will refund travel expenses, whether you come by bus, train or car.

Who will I be volunteering with?
We have a diverse group of volunteers – you will meet a wide range of people from different cultures and backgrounds. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming.
