What training and support will I receive?

  • We’ll send you a copy of our Volunteer Handbook, which will give you all the information you’ll need to know about volunteering with us. We’ll also ask you to sign and return a copy of our Volunteer Agreement, which sets out what we’ll do to support you, and what we expect from you, during your time volunteering with us.
  • We’ll send you a volunteer information brief which includes a reminder of the timings; a map to where we’ll meet you; details of anything you need to bring with you; and the name and contact details of a member of Breakthrough T1D staff who will be able to answer any questions you have.
  • On the day there’ll be a short volunteer briefing before you start, and we’ll make sure you have the contact number for a member of staff in case you have any queries.
  • We’ll give you a Breakthrough T1D t-shirt to wear (you can keep your t-shirt afterwards).
  • You’ll receive a ticket to watch the match (Falkirk vs St Mirren) and a voucher for a pie and a drink.
  • We’ll reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Breakthrough T1D volunteering policies (see details in your Volunteer Handbook).
