Volunteer induction: 1pm - 2.30pm

before signing up to an induction slot.

The session is expected to last no longer than 90 minutes. This session is compulsory for volunteers, even for current and existing volunteers. This is because we will soon be reopening to the public with a new organisational identity.

The induction will introduce volunteers to

• Our organisational identity and its meaning
• Volunteer roles and responsibilities
• Training, including Health and Safety and operational procedures.

Additionally, the esea contemporary team want to hear from you about your interests, answer any questions, and take note of volunteers' availability for us to understand how to arrange everyone's time.

There are three slots available - each volunteer is expected to attend only one session.

We understand that this opportunity may be cost-prohibitive. If you would like to take part and require assistance with travel expenses, please contact [email protected]
