I’ve got a criminal record – can I still volunteer?
Yes, you can. Depending on the nature of your criminal record, you may not be able to take up some volunteering roles but a variety of others would still be open to you. It’s best to discuss this with the organisation you wish to volunteer with. Alternatively, some Volunteer Centres work specifically with ex-offenders and they will all be able to advise you about volunteering with a criminal record.
