The Duckworth Worcestershire Trust has an equal opportunities policy in place and encourages volunteering opportunities, short and long term, for everyone. All our volunteers are insured by our public liability insurance whilst on the premises.
If you are interested in any of the advertised opportunities please make direct contact with the DWT Volunteer Coordinator, details are listed on each role description, where we can then organise a one off taster session and induction.
If successful and you wish to take up the post, you will be required to sign a volunteer agreement which is designed to offer the volunteer a statement of intent from the Trust and WRE. A trial period of 3 months is then advised.
Out of pocket expenses are reimbursed on a week/month in hand basis and are given out to make volunteering accessible to all regardless of income.

Volunteers Litter Warden Scheme
Our volunteer litter warden scheme supports volunteers who wish to clean up their local area. The scheme has been running for many years now and currently has about 90 volunteers.
The litter wardens often litter pick their own residential areas and the Trust truly appreciates this support. If you are interested in becoming a litter warden we provide advice and support and not forgetting the equipment that you will require to get started.
