Fight for disability equality

Your time and effort are very important to us in our fight for an equal future with disabled people.  

We'll be there to support you from the start. All our volunteers will get:

• an induction
• training specific to your role
• continuous learning and development opportunities
• a dedicated Scope contact you can speak to any time you need help
• work references up to 2 years after you finish your volunteering with us.

Expenses

We can repay you for agreed expenses dependent on your role. This will be agreed with your line manager before you start.

Please make sure you keep your receipts, as you will be asked for these.

Flexible time commitment

We have a variety of volunteer roles to suit your situation and time commitments. Any time you can give volunteering with us will make a big difference. We appreciate all our volunteers.

You can discuss flexible opportunities in more detail by getting in touch with us at volunteering@scope.org.uk.

Making adjustments

At Scope, we are passionate about giving everyone equal opportunities. We welcome applications from everyone. We work hard to make sure our volunteer opportunities are as accessible and inclusive as possible.

If you have any questions about your access needs, please get in touch at volunteering@scope.org.uk.
