A volunteer may choose to stay in the home where they are volunteering or in a guest house (where internet access is likely to be available).
We want anyone who gives their time to volunteer with us to feel valued, understood and proud to be part of CCREP for the vulnerable communities. We support our volunteers in their roles and request they never to hesitate to ask questions at any time.
