There are no specific criteria or time commitment needed. We are looking to engage committed volunteers that reflect the community.
An Ask Us Volunteer will help us:
- By listening carefully to local people who may contact you about our work
- By sharing the knowledge you’ve learned on our training and development programme, along with your local experience to guide and signpost them to suitable support services
- By helping young local people to understand the risks of becoming involved in gang related activity and encouraging them to look at better life options
- By helping your local community understand how gangs can affect their day-to-day lives and to spot signs that they or their family and friends may be knowingly or inadvertently becoming involved in gang-related activity
- By positively promoting the Ask Us Service and the other gang prevention services offered in the borough
- By dealing sympathetically and appropriately with any disclosures made by people who contact you needing help.
