@ WiganLeighCarer:
‘Volunteering at WLCC is rewarding, fun and varied.
We need more people like you to support carers across the whole of the Wigan & Leigh. You just need to have empathy and understanding of others and offer a few hours a week to make a real difference.’

How much do volunteers get paid?
Replied: 17th Feb 2022 at 23:13
Tonks: There's a clue above you. It says, "Are you an unpaid carer...." "...make a real difference to the lives of unpaid carers"
Can you solve it?

Platty, unpaid carers often don’t take on the role voluntarily, but because they have no option.
By volunteers, I think Tonker will mean any people who’ll help run the funded project yet don’t get paid:
“The local business and voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors have been submitting ideas for projects …
The chosen five will be invited to attend the Let's Innovate event on Wed 23rd March.” (Link)
I do understand your cynicism, Tonker
