I've been looking on the sea life centre website but can't find anything about volunteering/ jobs, where did you find it on their site?

I think I might send them my CV . . .

Is that the one in Hunstanton? I don't think I could get there very easily . . .

[mollykins]

hhmmm bacton's a lot nearer than Hunstanton . . . but still quite a trek.

[mollykins]

It hasn't got a website I don't think, but it's still about 40 miles away . . . and probably not on a bus route that comes anywhere near me . . .

[mollykins]

Another thing is, if I want to go away with cadets on summer camp for a week, they're more likely to say yes if I'm only volunteering there, rather than having a proper paid contract aren't they?

[mollykins]

What about paying me enough for my bus fare?

[boxtops]

They do sometimes molly, but quite often they don't - the whole point of volunteering is that it doesn't cost the charity or organisation anything, they can't afford it.

[mollykins]

It's not a charity although they do accept donations . . .

They're not a registered charity but they're happy to accept donations . . .

Hi Molly

Hope it helps

Thanks.

I'd be concerned about somewhere that wasn't a charity but was prepared to accept donations. Any organisation with charitable aims and exemptions with a turnover of more than £5k should register with the charity commission. If they are not a registered charity they may be a private limited company - in which case you have no guarantee that your donation won't just go on the manager's new BMW.
