About Opportunity
If you would like to learn new skills or build on the ones you have, we can offer you many opportunties to stretch yourself, meet new people and develop your interests. if you wish to help in other ways we will discuss this with you so we can match your skills and interests with the opportunties available. Volunteers help in the witness service by providing support and information for anyone who is to attend court which is often a very stressful experience. The benefits to our service users are that volunteers give their time to provide our services to victims and witnesses of crime. Law students may find this beneficial in furthering their understanding of the law and its processes.
