Some of our volunteers come from specialist industries which lend themselves to higher level qualifications like working at height, using certain types of machinery and ability
to lay concrete. Volunteers of this kind are invaluable, saving us thousands of pounds that stay in frontline services, and offering businesses the opportunity to give back to their communities.
Some examples include the below. If you think you could help, please get in touch!
