Anybody can apply to be a volunteer. You can find more information on applying to be a volunteer here.  We do not discriminate against people with a criminal record. However, our priority is the safety of our Members. Anyone with a criminal record is invited to take part in a tracing interview which gives an applicant the chance to explain their record and what positive changes they have made. A decision will be made as to whether to move forward with the application process.  You can read more about our Policy on Recruitment of Ex-Offenders here.
