About these notices
Notice from the publisher43 of 0 charities place notices here, every word from their own page. How the notices are checked →

Most of these charities publish nothing about what they ask of volunteers — no check, no minimum age, no references policy. Where a notice reads not stated, that is their page being silent rather than us not looking. Ask before you commit.
