We work hard to ensure that the Core training, and the continuous development that follows is of the highest quality – supportive, enjoyable and a good preparation for being a Listening Volunteer.
Since the beginning of the pandemic and lockdown we have run the new volunteer Core training virtually (using Zoom). We are very pleased to be able to say that even the most IT challenged new volunteers have, with our support, managed the virtual training successfully. When it is safe to do so we will have a couple of sessions face to face and much of the training will remain virtual.
We aim to run Core Training three times a year.
We welcome and value everyone regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, religion and belief, age, disability, background, upbringing, and perspective.
We empower volunteers to share their unique experience and have their voices heard.
