How would you like to help?

Why does volunteering with MyTime appeal to you?

What previous experience, skills, or interests do you have that may be helpful?

Please note that because we work with children and young people at My Time, two references will be requested, and a DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service) check is required. If you wish to drive members to and from club activities, we must also check your driving and vehicle documents on joining and at renewal. We regret that we can only recruit volunteers over 21 to help with driving. Please sign, date and hit the submit button to show that you have read and accepted the above.

Important: Please check first that the people named below expect us to contact them and agree to have their names put forward as referees. Neither should be related to you in any way and both should have known you for a reasonable length of time.
