Volunteering Application Form
Fields marked with a * are required
Measures taken to stop the spread of Coronavirus/Covid-19 mean that many more people are at risk of becoming isolated. It also changes the way that T&T volunteers are able to help people, for the time-being at least. Our priority is being able to ensure that all the positive action we take is safe for those involved, and within government guidelines.
Telephone befriending is currently our primary service, but we are also organising local food deliveries for vulnerable people. We're processing new applications as fast as we can, thank you for your patience.
Please fill in the form below to make an application. You can also email us at volunteering@timeandtalents.org.uk or call us on 020 7232 5669.
Please note, you won't be able to save this form, so you may want to create some of you answers in a word document first of all and paste them in! When you're done, hit submit, and we will be in touch.
