People Skills

- A car would be useful but not essential, especially if you are local to Kew. - Most of our members prefer their shopping to be done Monday to Friday during the day but do get in touch with us if you would like to volunteer for weekend or evening shopping - Compassion and patience. - A DBS Check which KNA will pay for and organise and a character reference from two non family members who have known you for a minimum of two years.

So many people don't have family who live close to them. We connect people who want to help, with people who need help. It's a win, win. Those who volunteer feel more engaged with the people within their own local communities. And those people who ask us for help are able to get to appointments, see their friends and get out and about.

Volunteering for KNA is extremely flexible. It is designed to fit around you and your other commitments. We do ask for a minimum commitment of helping for six months as it costs money to carry out DBS checks and to onboard volunteers. Either volunteering on an occasional basis or for a regular hour a week, at at time to suit you - most people requesting a Volunteer Shopper like a weekly shop. We also need occasional shoppers, to cover our regular Volunteer Shoppers when they are away or unavailable.
