  2. Now express your interest by completing the form at the bottom of this page.
  3. We will use the information provided to create you a volunteer account on the website. This is a manual process so may take a few days.
  4. When this is complete the website will send you a confirmation e-mail with two links. You need to create a password for your account so click on the first of the links.
  5. Change the password on the password reset form to something you will remember.
  6. Now you have created your account you are ready to volunteer!
  7. The sign-up sheets are private to registered volunteers only and are hidden until you log-in to the website. When you are logged in a sign-up sheets link appears in the menu bar.
  8. To log-in you will need to enter your username (or e-mail address) and the password you entered in 5. above. Please note that you will only be given FIVE attempts to enter the correct user name and password combination, after which you will be locked out from signing in. It may be best to use the lost password form before you reach your five attempts limit.

  13. Please remember to log out when you have finished (top right hand corner of every page).

You can go back to the sign up sheets at any time to add further sessions, or to remove yourself from a session. Please remember to give as much notice as possible if you are cancelling a session to give time for a replacement to be found.
