The volunteering aspect
of the Award is often the most difficult as it involves finding
an individual or establishment willing to accept your offer of volunteering.
In the first instance you should use your own initiative to find
somewhere to do your volunteering.
If you are struggling
to sort something out, the following establishments have been contacted
by Mr McWilliam. They have vacancies as detailed, however it is
up to you to contact them and make arrangements. If you require
a reference then see Mr McWilliam.
Remember, you are
aiming for APPROXIMATELY an hour a week but in some situations it
may be more appropriate (and more use of everyone's time) to complete
2-3 hours every 2-3 weeks. Your online record should be signed off
to indicate that you have completed the total hours required over
the appropriate time period as detailed bw.
