Volunteer Application Form

Our Values: The Springfield Project aims to show God’s love in our community. We seek to express the love of God to anyone in need. We embrace diversity and inclusivity, celebrating the way people of different faiths (or no faith) can work together to bring about positive change in the lives of individuals and the community.

Referees

Please give details of two referees who are not family members.

The main purpose of the reference is that the person can vouch for you being safe around children and vulnerable people. Your references could be a previous manager, a support/ care worker, a landlord, tutor or religious leader.  

We do accept personal references from friends and neighbours, but they need to come from somebody who has known you for 2 years. If you are known to the Springfield Project staff we will also obtain an internal reference.

We recommend that you check that both people are willing to give you a reference and tell them to expect an email from us. This will speed up the process, as getting references often cause delays.
