• Volunteering options – sources of information and opportunities
• Starting new community action – guidance and top ten tips
• Dos and don’ts – to coordinate well and safely
• Safeguarding guidance – to help keep everyone safe
• Guidance for the beneficiaries – to keep themselves safe

• Financial transactions – preventing abuse, fraud and theft
• Suggested volunteer roles – with helpful detail
