Volunteers

Due to the nature of our work, Standing Together works closely with partner agencies in the borough, e.g. the Police and West London Magistrates courts, we often handle sensitive data. As a result we do not recruit volunteers for the office.

On occasion we may have a specific role, details of which will be advertised here on the website.

If you are interested in volunteering in this field we would highlight the opportunities available on the Women’s Aidand Refuge websites.
