How
You Can Help - Volunteering
Doorway is
now interviewing potential volunteers throughout the year, on an
individual basis, instead of 2 group recruitment days per year.
"My
first 'year' - a bit scary at first, but I've always felt safe -
the scariness was doing something different out of my comfort zone.
I've enjoyed it and learnt a lot from experienced staff and volunteers"

The
informal interview with the Project Manager will be a chance to
talk about the service that we provide, and to ask questions before
making any commitment to the project.
The energy and skills
that our volunteers bring to the project are crucial to our success,
helping people move on in their lives
