New volunteer briefing
One hour, free, and it comes before a first island trip rather than after.

Send us a request and we will confirm it. Nothing is paid online.
What it costs
No charge Per person
Donations reach us by bank transfer to the account on the donations page. Send the reference to the office afterwards and we email a receipt with our own reference on it. Nothing is collected on this website, there is no card payment here, and nobody from the foundation will ever ask you for money in a message you did not start. If somebody does, it is not us, and we would like to know.
There is no recurring giving arrangement, because we have no way to take one. People who give every month set up a standing instruction at their own bank and tell the office, which works perfectly and costs us nothing to administer.
A seat at the fundraising dinner is reserved here and paid by transfer within five days. The seat is released after that, and the office will tell you before it does.
Goods are as welcome as money and often more useful. Bring them to the store on a Saturday morning rather than posting them, and read what we can and cannot take first, because sending back what we cannot use costs the foundation money.
An hour in the office with the volunteer coordinator, in a group of ten or fewer. It is required before a first island trip and it is not required for a clean up morning or a store Saturday.
What the hour covers: what the foundation does and the two things it does not, how an island visit is arranged and with whom, who you answer to on the day, what to wear and what to bring, the rules about photographs, and what to do when a family on the island asks you for something the foundation cannot give. That last one takes twenty minutes and it is why the briefing exists.
The photograph rule is gone through properly here rather than printed on a wall. No photographs of children, on any trip, on your own phone or for us. It ends somebody's involvement on a first breach and nobody has ever said afterwards that they did not understand it.
Bring your questions about how the foundation is funded and what happens to donated goods. The coordinator will answer both plainly, and if the answer involves a number she will tell you the date it was last confirmed.
