Volunteering

Becoming a Volunteer for Survivors’ Network

The Networks Helpline and Drop-in services are staffed entirely by highly trained and professionally supervised volunteers, ordinary women from the community, some of whom have been sexually abused themselves and worked through their trauma. All are committed to offering high quality, safe and confidential services to the women who contact us.

Before working at our services, all volunteers receive intensive training, which takes place at weekends, and are asked to commit for a period of six months. Following this period, volunteers will be awarded a Survivors’ Network Training Certificate. All volunteer workers attend regular supervision, which is provided by an external supervisor.

If you are interested in volunteering for Survivors Network, then get in touch and find out more. We will tell you when the next volunteer training course will be run. We will ask you to complete an application form and invite you along to meet us and attend an interview.

Becoming a Survivors’ Network Trustee

Survivors’ Network is run by a Management Committee, a group of women who meet on a monthly basis to make decisions about the future of the organisation and day to day running of the Network. Our Management Committee is currently made up of 7 Trustees, two paid staff and two volunteer representatives from the Drop-in & Helpline Service.

Trustees are volunteers, who come from all backgrounds and bring with them different skills and experience to contribute to the running of the organisation. We would like to thank all our Trustees for all that they give and for caring so much about our services and the women who use them.

If you are interested in becoming a Trustee for Survivors Network then please contact us and we will give you more information.
