    Volunteers

    We have an amazing team of over 100 volunteers who work incredibly hard on our behalf. Together they cover 2,636 square miles between them - That’s a big challenge as you can imagine!

    They perform a wide range of duties on behalf of the Charity, including giving talks, supporting events, manning information/merchandise stalls and assisting with the management of collection boxes distributed across both counties.

    In total, the voluntary effort represents well over 5000 hours of vital support that the Charity would otherwise have to employ staff to complete. This highlights that, not only do volunteers provide a huge boost to the profile of the Charity, particularly across local communities, they also ‘gift’ a significant labour value. It is not unreasonable to state that many events would be unviable were it not for the outstanding support of our volunteers.

    We are grateful to each and every one of volunteers for their continued support to the Charity.

    Could you help us by becoming a Volunteer?
