Manual handling tasks include lifting, lowering, bending, pushing, pulling, holding, twisting, turning, repetitive movements and standing for extended periods of time. Some heavy lifting up to 15kg may be required.

Volunteering may not be suitable for anyone with muscular, skeletal, or back injuries. Please consider if this type of volunteering is right for you. We do not allow volunteers to participate if we determine volunteers are unable to perform tasks safely.
