Welcome to the volunteer website
We want to keep you up-to-date with important
information about your role as a volunteer with The Trust.
May 2010
There are important changes to Celebrate Success and to the
Business Programme. The other obvious big change is the arrival of
a new Government and we are happy that we already have good
links with the coalition.
Volunteers' Week celebrates the fantastic contribution made by
volunteers like you. We hope that the inspiring stories from our
volunteers will encourage others to give their time. We are also
highlighting other ways you can support The Trust.
We will be launching our second volunteer survey later this
summer. This will be a great opportunity to share your views with
us about the progress of the volunteer strategy. It will help us to
ensure that volunteering at The Trust is a rewarding
experience.
