Our Process & Volunteer Induction
All Centre Volunteers will need to attend an induction session before volunteering for us. This will cover a range of areas, including:
• Introduction to Teckels, the work we do and how the charity operates
• Details about the site and how it operates on a daily basis, with a tour of the premises
• An essential health and safety briefing for anyone who will be on-site
• Information regarding our methods of fundraising, along with key dates for upcoming events and appeals
For Charity Shop Volunteers, you’ll be invited to meet our Charity Shop Manager for an interview before being offered a trial shift in the shop.
