How to apply

Applying to become an ELHAP volunteer is easy. You just need to complete an online form to start the whole process. 

You need to be available on Saturdays during Term-time (doesn’t have to be every Saturday), and/ or weekdays during School holidays. And with our Flexible booking system, you can book which days suit you, including just Mornings or Afternoons.

When we receive your completed application, we will then send details of how to complete the vetting process (this includes completing an enhanced DBS check etc). Please note that the DBS checks can take weeks or even months so please be patient with this part of the process. 

ELHAP uses Better Impact to process all volunteer applications and to help schedule volunteer bookings.
