Volunteer Agreement

Resurrected Bites considers volunteers to be an important and valued part of our organisation and we could not run the organisation without them. We hope that you enjoy volunteering with us and find it enjoyable and rewarding.

We operate an open-door policy and if at any time you have any queries or concerns about your role please contact our Operations Manager on opsmanager@resurrectedbites.co.uk

This document sets out the agreement between Resurrected Bites and you and is binding in honour only. It is not intended to be a legally binding contract and may be cancelled at any time by either party. It is not our intention to create any employment relationship either now or at any time in the future.

This Agreement contains the whole terms between Resurrected Bites and you in relation to your volunteer work; it also informs you of what you can expect from us and what we expect from you. We aim to be flexible so please let us know if you would like to make any changes and we will do our best to accommodate these.
