Volunteering

If you have some spare time, volunteering for Refuge is a great way of making a difference. We depend on other people's generosity to provide our services, and that generosity does not have to be financial. Making a commitment to volunteer for Refuge is a really valuable way of helping - and we're sure the experience will be rewarding for you too.

I want to volunteer - how can I help?

There are two areas where we are able to accept volunteers on the 24-hour National Domestic Violence Helpline, and as part of our fundraising team.

We do not use volunteers within our refuges, for reasons of confidentiality and the need to provide sensitive, discreet and professional support to vulnerable women and children. To find out more about volunteering for Refuge email volunteering@refuge.org.uk
