Are you interested in becoming a Volunteer for Ampthill & Flitwick Good Neighbours?
Volunteering for the scheme could not be easier, as Ampthill & Flitwick Good Neighbours are interested in utilising your skills and experience to help those residents needing help. Ampthill & Flitwick Good Neighbours are keen to use whatever skills you can bring to the scheme to benefit the residents of the area, so don’t be shy in coming forward!
It is important to emphasise that as a volunteer you can do as little or as much as you want. This is very much responsive volunteering and you will be one of many volunteers on standby to help your fellow residents in need.
The main thing is that you will gain satisfaction and fulfilment in knowing that you are helping your ‘neighbours’.
Please be aware that as the scheme will be dealing with older people and other vulnerable adults, you will be Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked (at no expense to yourself).
