Volunteers
Without our dedicated volunteers and law students, Cumbria Law Centre would not be able to function as efficiently and effectively as it does. Amongst other things, our volunteers cover reception, answer the telephone, undertake research and collect statistical data.
If you would like to become a volunteer, simply contact our Volunteer Co-ordinator, Fiona McCrum. She will invite you in to have a chat and discuss ways in which we can make the use of the skills, time and commitment you are able to give us in delivering our daily work for the community.
Give Fiona a call on 01228 515129, or email her at reception@cumbria-law.org.uk
The Law Centre’s Volunteer Investment Programme offers individuals a unique insight into the workings of a Social Welfare organisation. Each volunteer is fully trained on our bespoke software programmes and Microsoft Office.
They go through an intensive, yet supportive, training programme. Volunteers perform an invaluable role at the front face of the Law Centre, and their professionalism, expertise and discretion is valued not only by fellow colleagues but by the whole of the local community.
‘My time at CLC has been very insightful, and the experience has taught me so much in a short amount of time. My confidence has grown so much from the experience. All the staff and volunteers are so very approachable has made it easy to learn new skills.’
‘When you are comfortably able to ask questions and have light-hearted conversations – especially when it is your first time doing any volunteering,- this makes a real difference.’
‘I have also been applying for jobs and recently have been offered full time position that I will be accepting. I’m so very excited by this! I don’t think I would have been able to do it without the Cumbria Law Centre team, I’m so grateful’
