Our Volunteer Handbook
This handbook has been produced to help to introduce you to the work of Connected Together CIC (CTCIC) and the organisations it manages, including Healthwatch North and West Northamptonshire (HWNW) and Healthwatch Rutland (HWR).
We want to ensure your volunteering experience with us is an enjoyable and rewarding one. The aim of the handbook is to act as a handy reference and information tool so please take time to read it. It is a lengthy document but one that we believe will be useful in different ways throughout your volunteering time with us. Below is a brief description that summarises the key elements of the role.
The Volunteer’s Roles can include:
- Volunteers bring a variety of skills, expertise, and a fresh perspective, for example, cultural understanding and personal experience.
- Volunteers can offer time and passion to a particular project, adding value to our work and supporting our sustainability.
- Volunteers have knowledge of their local communities; by involving volunteers we are able to build stronger links with those local communities, including those that are hardest to reach
- Volunteers act as ambassadors, promoting CTCIC’s activities and services. This is a unique role and does not replace the role of paid workers.
- Volunteers increase our capacity so that we can achieve more.
