Community Learning & Development Service volunteers are a major resource and make a vital contribution to our service. We intend to encourage, develop and support volunteer involvement in our work.
The time, energy and skills offered by our volunteers benefits our work and helps us to achieve our aims. Experience has shown that volunteering also brings benefits to volunteers themselves and to those with whom they work.
The Community Learning & Development Service believes that our relationship with our volunteers is one of mutual responsibility and commitment, within which the Community Learning & Development Service and our volunteers both have rights and responsibilities. We hope that volunteers will enjoy their involvement and gain from it in terms of their own personal objectives.
