Regular volunteering programme
As well as our special initiatives, we design and manage an annual calendar of volunteering opportunities including:
- Team challenges, one-off projects to transform community buildings and urban green spaces
- Seasonal giving weeks, such as visiting the elderly and collecting for homeless people at Christmas
- Weekly programmes, such as the popular lunchtime Right to Read scheme in schools
- Business support, helping charities in need with professional expertise
