Thinking of Volunteering?

“As you are reading this you are exploring the idea of becoming a volunteer. Our volunteers are people who have some time to help us make a difference to the lives and prospects of our learners, customers and clients. This is what the Trust is all about. The Trustees, who are responsible for the work of the Trust, are all volunteers. Staff, volunteers and trustees are drawn from many walks of life and age is no barrier.”

Barbara Jones, Trust Secretary
