Benefits of volunteering with the LGF
We like to think that volunteering for the LGF is a reward in itself! However, whatever your motivations, here’s a few reasons why volunteering for us could be the best decision you’ve made recently!
- Social life and friends – a great way to create a new network of friends.
- Confidence and skills – we encourage all volunteers to look at their training needs to develop new skills or enhance current ones.
- Pride in giving something back to the community – a real way to give some of your time, energy and skills to help others.
When you volunteer for the LGF, it’s our aim that:
- You can help make a difference to the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual people;
- Your gift of time, skills and experience will be used well;
- Your volunteering will be appreciated and recognised;
- You will be provided with the relevant training and support to carry out your volunteer role;
- You can expect the LGF to seek your views on its work and your volunteering experiences;
- You volunteer in an organisation this is striving to be non-discriminatory and diverse;
- You won’t be out of pocket – we’ll reimburse all reasonable and approved expenses;
- You can expect the LGF to help you resolve any difficulties you may have with the LGF or your volunteering; and
- You are free to stop volunteering at any time.
