Reference in support of volunteer application

The Wilberforce Trust supports people with sight and hearing impairments, including those with other disabilities. We offer a wide range of services including housing, support assessments, support with daily living to rehabilitation services, technology and equipment assistance as well as activity and educational groups. These services and activities create opportunities that enable individuals to live fulfilled lives as independently in their community as possible.

We are always looking for volunteers to support the planning and delivery of activities, help to create materials for sessions, support events, fundraising, befriending and much more.

Most of our volunteers will be working with children and/or vulnerable individuals, so they are required to provide two references when they apply to join our volunteers team. Please complete the reference form below to the best of your knowledge.
