Can I volunteer if I have a disability?
Yes. There are disabled volunteers in all kinds of roles. If you have special needs of any kind, it's worth discussing this with the organisation so that they put in place any necessary resources. If you have particular concerns, or are unable to find an opportunity, contact your Volunteer Bureau.

Can I volunteer with my family or friends?
Lots of volunteering organisations will encourage you to get friends and family involved. Usually groups go in for practical activities like conservation and fundraising - you can search for these kinds of opportunities in vsearch.

How long do I have to stay, and can I leave if I don't like it?
As a volunteer you are free to leave whenever you like. If things don't work out or your circumstances change it's good to talk it through with the person in charge and give them some notice if possible.
