4. Volunteering

Submitting the volunteer form does not by itself create any engagement, employment or contract.

Volunteers working with children or other vulnerable beneficiaries may be asked for identity verification and must follow our on-ground safeguarding instructions at all times.

5. Accuracy of content

We work hard to keep case details, programme updates, statistics and documents on the Website current. Even so, the content is provided for general information, may become out of date, and should not be treated as professional, medical, legal or financial advice. Photographs of beneficiaries are published with consent; where consent could not be obtained, identities are changed or obscured.
