Your questions answered
Questions this week include volunteering in a new location, how far in advance you book your shifts and why you are seeing certain tasks from across the country.
I’m travelling over the festive period, can I volunteer in a new location?
Yes, tasks will be shown to you based on your mobile phone's physical location. No matter where you are in England, you can always help people who need some extra support this winter.
I’d like to plan my shifts ahead, how far in advance can I book a volunteer activity?
Currently the app allows you to search 28 days in advance for shifts in the activities tab.
Why am I seeing ‘national’ tasks in the Activities tab on the GoodSAM app?
These will be Telephone Support tasks. This activity involves speaking to people on the phone and offering friendly conversation. Because these tasks do not require any travel and can be done from anywhere, you can talk to people from all across England.
