Benefits of volunteering: The volunteers said....... 

"It has reintroduced routine and structure back into my life."    

" I am changed person because I have more confidence, self-esteem, more qualifications, more social and team working skills."

" Helped with motivation, confidence, team working and job prospects"

We are always in need of extra volunteers, especially on a Saturday!

Trainees

Many New Deal Trainees come to work at HomeAid on a 13-week work placement, we have recently joined Project Scotland who can offer volunteers up to one year`s placement.  Both are and will be invaluable in helping us provide our services.

For example, Trainees and Volunteers have been asked the following questions 

Specifically what skills do you feel you have learned or brushed up on while working with HomeAid Caithness and Sutherland? 

Trainees said they felt they had gained the following skills:

1: Handling and storing skills.
2: Till operationa and cash handling.
3: Dealing with the general public
4: PAT testing.
5: Organisational skills.

Is there anything you feel could have been done to make your experience with HomeAid Caithness and Sutherland more beneficial?

1: Not that I can think of it was good the way it was.
2: Overall my time with HomeAid has been beneficial to me personally and work wise
