Criminal Records:Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence? (You do not need to disclose convictions deemed as “spent” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974) With some exceptions, having a criminal record will not necessarily bar an individual from volunteering with us. This will depend on the nature of the role sought and the circumstances and background of the offences. Community Service placements do not need to provide conviction information.If you answer “Yes” to the above, please give your name, shop name and details of all offences, penalties and/or police enquiries and dates on a separate sheet of paper, in a sealed envelope marked confidential, for the attention of Michael Holmes, Chief Executive and send it to Hope365, 73 Main Street, Ballyclare, BT39 9AA. *
