Many of GRF’s volunteering opportunities will involve direct contact with potentially vulnerable people. As such, applications to volunteer are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that potential volunteers are required to declare their entire criminal record, including cautions, reprimands, final warnings and criminal convictions categorised “unspent” under the above legislation.

We would love to keep you updated about our work and the difference your support makes. Signing up to our updates is a great way to find out about the impact that GRF volunteers like you are making to the lives of vulnerable people around the world, as well as news, information, events, competitions and emergency updates about how you can help.

You can change how we communicate with you at any time by calling us on 0161 302 7888 or emailing [email protected]. Please visit our website to view our Privacy Policy for more information about how we use and protect your data.

Please detail a referee who can provide us with a reference. Please note; they cannot be related to you and must have known you for at least a year.
