Why volunteer for us?

Everyone has different motivations for wanting to get involved in volunteering.
But here are a few good reasons to join us:

• Be part of a team
• Make a difference in your local community
• Use your skills for a good cause
• Gain valuable experience
• Boost your CV

We do everything that we can to make the experience as rewarding and enjoyable as possible:

• Full training is given
• Regular supervision is provided
• Hours are flexible
• Out of pocket expenses are paid

But don’t just take it from us.  This is what our volunteers say:

•  "Its very satisfying to be doing a job that's people-based and helping a charity rather than just working to increase a company's profits."  
•  “I get so much more from, than I give to Dorothy House”.
•  “You come here and it is like a big pair of arms wrapping round you as soon as you walk through the door”.
• “This is my family – they really care”.
• “I came here for work experience, I love it so much, I’ve just stayed”
•  “I just want to feel useful; they really bring that out of you”.
