A report last year cited Sevenoaks as
one of the happiest places to live because of its strong volunteer base.
At Sevenoaks CAB we are fortunate to have a team of 60 volunteers in a variety
of roles but we still need more!
Volunteers find working in our team a
stimulating, worthwhile and fascinating part of their lives.
We need volunteers:

alternatively, you may wish to join our '200' club
to help us raise funds (see below).
If you
would like to work with us as a volunteer, you can find all the details,
including an online application form at
http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/join-us. Alternatively you may contact the
bureau at info@sevenoakscab.org.uk and we will be pleased to discuss what the work involves.
If
selected, you will have the opportunity to receive free training to be an advice
worker, support worker or member of the Management Committee. No special
qualifications are required and we are keen that the volunteers are
representative of the community.
We have
an equal opportunities policy.
Would you like to join our "200" Club?
Many people are under the
misapprehension that we are a government agency, whereas we are totally reliant
on funding from grants and donations. This year, in addition to the funding
provided by Sevenoaks District Council, we aim to raise at least £20,000 in
order to maintain our, confidential, independent and impartial service.
Valuable
additional funds are provided by our "200" club. The cost of
joining is just £12 per year (only £1 a month). This gives the
opportunity to win one of two monthly prizes which together are equal to half of
the monthly subscriptions. (The 1st prize = 30% of total subscriptions; 2nd
prize = 20%. With 200 members these will be worth £60 and £40 respectively.)
