Volunteering

WHO will I work WITH?

If you’re organising your own activity you may need to have partners and supporters. Be clear about each person’s roles and tasks – don’t assume that everyone knows. Meet, discuss, agree and record what you decide.

Here are some questions to think about:

• Will I work in a team or by myself?
• How can I recruit my team of people?
• How do I make sure that everyone knows what their role is?
• Will Bupa support or help me in organising/promoting the activity? Click here to find out how Bupa Community Connections can help.

Your activity may bring you into close contact with the person you are trying to help – that’s part of the fun and satisfaction. If you are going to be working with, or in close contact with, children or disabled people, there are health and safety and legal issues you must be aware of. For instance, you need to have sufficient insurance and you may need to undergo a police check.
