Our Volunteer & Resident Coordinator will redact any sensitive data (i.e. DOB, health information, home address, info about your referees) before sharing this information with other residents.

All of the information being requested of you is required on the basis of Legal Obligations and Vital Interests. If you are unsuccessful, we will not hold your data for longer than six months. Please read our Privacy Notice should you wish to know more about how we treat your data.

Crossing the UK Border
Please ensure you know what your rights are as a volunteer.

If you are not a UK National, you are individually responsible for knowing your own legal status, as well as getting yourself to and from Braziers Park.
Do you understand?
Insurance

You may wish to look into obtaining travel/health insurance when visiting/volunteering the UK. Our National Health Service is becoming difficult to access and you may be asked for insurance or payment details before receiving medical treatment, particularly if not a UK Citizen.

Please note, however, that our public liability insurance covers you in the event of any accidents on our premises.
