Volunteers / Recruitment

SANDWELL ADVOCACY IS DEDICATED AND COMMITTED TO RECRUITING VOLUNTEER ADVOCATES AS AN IMPORTANT AND INTEGRAL PART OF OUR ORGANISATION.

OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE EVERYDAY PEOPLE, COME FROM A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS, NEED NO FORMAL QUALIFICATIONS AND MAKE AN ON-GOING COMMITMENT TO ANOTHER PERSON.

OUR VOLUNTEER ADVOCATES ARE UNPAID – THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE THERE, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE PAID TO BE THERE.
OUR ADVOCATES ARE TOTALLY LOYAL TO THE PERSON THEY WORK WITH – NOT TO SANDWELL ADVOCACY, ANY SERVICE PROVIDERS OR THE PERSON’S PARTNER, FAMILY OR FRIENDS.

ALL SANDWELL ADVOCACY VOLUNTEERS ARE PROVIDED WITH TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE ON-GOING INDEPENDENT ADVOCACY.

WHY VOLUNTEER WITH SANDWELL ADVOCACY?

WE OFFER A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR VOLUNTEERS TO DEVELOP A LASTING AND MEANINGFUL ADVOCACY PARTNERSHIP WITH ANOTHER PERSON THAT MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCE TO THEIR LIVES.

YOU WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS INJUSTICE AND PREJUDICE THAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCE IN SOCIETY.

YOU WILL GAIN REAL SATISFACTION OF HAVING PUT SOMETHING BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY.
