HOW WE ENSURE YOUR SAFETY

Always be sure that anyone who you don't know, but who acts as if they are a Snape Good Neighbour, carries a valid photo-ID (an example of which can be viewed below) with the logo shown above.  Our genuine Volunteers are, of course, all DBS-checked, and will NEVER object to you checking their identity via the phone number above.  The DBS is the Government's Disclosure and Barring Service, which "enables organisations … to make safer recruitment decisions … especially involving children or vulnerable adults".

«MEET UP MONDAYS»

We meet at The Golden Key every Monday morning (usually even Bank Holidays) — read more here.
