The Catholic Fellowship Disability Network welcomes applications from anyone wanting to apply to become a volunteer. The charity is required to collect contact and compliance information on anyone volunteering in the organisation. We have made it a simple process to ensure it complies with UK legislation.

All volunteers are required to undertake the following checks;
