DBS checks cost the charity £10 and we’d ask all volunteers to cover this cost as part of joining the team, if this cost is a barrier to you joining us (because you are currently unemployed or on a low income)then do let us know and we can look to cover the cost for you.
We appreciate your honesty, whilst previous convictions are not an immediate bar to volunteering at Barnabus, withholding this information may result in a termination of your volunteering. All information provided will be kept strictly confidential and will only be disclosed with your knowledge if we are required to do so.
