Could you be a REACT Responder?

Answer these ten questions to help you decide if volunteering for REACT is right for you:

  1. Do I wholeheartedly believe in REACT’s values and am I a true humanitarian?

  2. Am I willing and able to commit at least 14 days a year to volunteering?

  3. Am I willing to learn new skills?

  4. Am I willing to be a supportive member of a diverse team and take instructions?

  5. Am I a UK citizen, a member of the EU with pre-settled or settled status or have a visa that permits me to volunteer in the UK?

  6. Do I hold a valid driving licence?

  7. Am I in good physical* and mental health and able to work in stressful and challenging situations?

  8. Do I have great communication skills and empathy for others?

  9. Can I confidently use a smartphone and a variety of apps?

  10. Can I commit to attending at least one 3-day training weekend, where I will be camping out in rural Wiltshire?

If you answered yes to all the above, then you sound like a future REACT Responder. The next step is to sign up to our volunteer portal and start your Foundation Course. This online training is packed full of information about REACT and how we work. It will take you 2 to 3 hours to complete, but you can complete one section at a time over a number of days.

Once you have completed your Foundation Course, you will be asked to book a short informal online interview with a Regional Leader, followed by an online Assessment Centre. This will be an opportunity for you to meet some of the team and for us to give you all the information you need before you progress to a training weekend. 

We look forward to seeing you soon.
