Criminal Record Checks

by

In your organisation, do you have contact with children or vulnerable people? Then you should have a DBS check done for you and those who work with you.

There is a really useful website HERE with all the information to hand- hold you through the process of criminal record checks.

One Community have a service to do DBS checks for member organisations. If you would like any assistance with this or any other matter involving your voluntary organisation, please contact us call us on 023 8090 2400 or email vss@1community.org.uk

Volunteers Week 2019 A BIG THANK YOU!

by

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I should like to thank all our wonderful volunteers who support those who use our services. Whether your voluntary role brings you into face contact with people, you work behind the scenes, help with fundraising, marketing or research or if you are one of the many partners of our volunteers supporting them to give their time to One Community – a huge thank you. Without you we could not do the things we do, or maintain the consistency, reliability and standard and thereby together we make a difference to the lives of many people.
Many thanks,

Adrian
