The Stroke Association's relationship with volunteers

We have set out what volunteers can expect from The Stroke Association, and what we expect from our volunteers.

From The Stroke Association:

  • to celebrate success and recognise your loyalty and dedication
  • to recognise that successful volunteering incorporates your motivations, aspirations and choices 
  • to respect you as a volunteer, listen and learn from what you have to say, consistently encouraging two-way communication 
  • to attempt to match the needs of the charity with your skills, knowledge, experience and motivation as a volunteer 
  • to ensure that our volunteers do so safely. Your health and welfare is paramount whilst volunteering for The Stroke Association 
  • to foster a friendly and supportive atmosphere - making volunteering for The Stroke Association fun.

From our volunteers:

  • to maintain and uphold the reputation of The Stroke Assocation
  • to aim for high standards of efficiency, reliability and quality in all aspects of your volunteering with us 
  • to co-operate with our staff members, to listen and learn from what they have to say to achieve the aims of the charity 
  • to respect the need for confidentiality whenever you have access to controlled information 
  • to take reasonable care of your own health and safety whilst volunteering, and that of others who may be affected by your actions 
  • to encourage two-way communication with other volunteers and paid staff, fostering a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.
