Thank you for your enquiry about becoming a Footprint Trust Volunteer.
The Footprint Trust is a local charity, and has been in existence on the Isle of Wight for over ten years. During that time, over hundreds of people have assisted us in caring for our local environment and the community. At the moment there are over 50 active volunteers in many different roles.
Once you have received some basic training and guidance you are then insured to take part in certain activities and involve and help others in your community. The amount of time you put into this voluntary work is up to you. But you must follow our guidance to ensure safe working practices, which in turn means we can insure your activities.
We do ask that you let us know of any essential medication you take or any allergies - this is so we can care for you in an emergency, likewise we ask for Next of Kin details.
To run all our work we depend on donations and grants from various bodies and individuals. There is no annual fee, or membership costs to volunteer with the Trust and the training is free too. However, if you would like to make a donation towards our work of £20 a year, or whatever you can afford, then we would be most grateful.
Yours
Ray Harrington-Vail
