It is no exaggeration to say that without the hard work of our volunteers, Rahab would not be where it is today. Without the commitment and passion of those who started the group in 2005 – Anita Hawthorne (Rahab’s first project manager), Tim Clewer (MTF’s director), Tonia Elliott (part of the founding group), Chris Milton and Malc Peirce (previous and pre-sent FCG directors), Sylvia Eedle (invaluable prayer support) and Lorraine Joslin (current Project Manager) Rahab wouldn’t have started and continued to develop. Our current volunteer base enables Night Outreach Teams to continue, as well as day support work. Please do contact us if you have any enquiries about volunteering with Rahab.
Volunteers can get involved in the following activities:
- Night Outreach Teams
- Day Time Support (keywork sessions & accompanying or helping access to appointments)
- Advocacy / Befriending / Mentoring
- Prayer Support
- Administrational Support
- Fundraising
All volunteers need to make sure they:
- Fill in a Volunteer Application Form 2011-2012
- Be informally interviewed by the project manager
- Fill in a CRB check with the Mustard Tree Foundation* (this happens after your initial interniew)
- Read through the Equal Opportunities Policy
- Read through our Confidentiality Policy
- Read through our Universal Safeguarding Children Policy
- Sign the Rahab Volunteer Accountability Statement in our Volunteer Pack
- For Night Outreach Team Members (if you have a car) provide your car registration, make & model to the Project Manager**
* Until requirements change you are required to have an up-to-date CRB check through MTF
** TVP’s CCTV team monitor the safety of volunteers whilst we are on Night Outreach
