| Volunteering
All volunteers will go through induction
training after a two month probationary period at TRCC.
We believe that volunteering is a worthwhile experience allowing
women to share their skills with the organisation and develop other
skills during their time at TRCC.
We ask women to show a commitment of volunteering at the centre
for a minimum of one year.
How
do I become a volunteer?
If you are interested in volunteering and want more information please
call our Volunteer Support Worker, on
0191 222 0272.
If you get through to the answer machine,
leave a brief message with your name and contact number and you
will be contacted as soon as possible. Otherwise you can email us.
You will then be invited to come
along for an informal chat with the Volunteer Support Worker.
What
qualifications do I need?
None. We
do ask that you have a non-judgmental attitude, an ability to
be open to new learning and a commitment to working in a women
only environment.
How
much time will I have to give?
A
commitment of two hours per week, fortnightly or monthly are available
to meet volunteers needs as well as the organisations.

Do you
offer placements for counselling students?
No. The
centre does not recruit volunteers to do face-to-face counselling.
What
opportunities are available to volunteers? Helpline
work, fundraising, working with the staff on the training we deliver,
working on a newsletter, raising awareness of our work via talks/research,
support/advocacy.
How will I be supported/supervised?
The
Volunteer Support Worker and other members of staff will provide
support and will oversee the day-to-day work of volunteers.
You
will receive regular one-to-one supervision with the Volunteer
Support Worker and we have a Volunteer Group that enables all volunteers
to meet up with each other.
Will
I receive expenses?
Yes. We have a budget for out-of-pocket travel expenses
which you will be reimbursed for. Receipts need to be provided.
