I have found it be an excellent support network & friendly service. No question is too big or too small for Angela or Terri. In my opinion, its a great community resource Are there any recommendations/ suggestions you would like to make? Keep doing what they do Important to place volunteers that are appropriate to specific areas. Not all people are suitable people to volunteer in particular areas. Screening Volunteers on their suitability would be very important as well as ascertaining whether they are truly interested or not before recommending them to other organisations Sometimes volunteers referred have little knowledge of the project and are not sure what they are signing up for, some volunteers are not suitable for volunteering opportunities we offer. We hope you will remember us if you need support for mental health work Id love more marketing training- I spoke to Angela regarding this and she is going to follow up on this with me. This is another example of their friendly & helpful approach
