We couldn’t do what we do without
our volunteers. We are incredibly
grateful to them for sharing their
time and expertise with our charity
clients.
The number of new volunteers was double that
of last year, with 149 management professionals
joining us in a range of volunteer roles. This takes
the number of volunteers available to support our
services to 1,430 an increase of 昀椀ve
per cent from last year. Across all our services,
Cran昀椀eld Trust volunteers provided 19,237 hours
of management support to charities.
We place volunteers as locally as possible with our
charity clients, but where particular skills are needed
or local volunteers are not available, we match clients
and volunteers remotely, sharing their skills with
social welfare charities across England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland.
Our Regional Managers and Projects and Mentoring
Co-ordinators work closely with volunteers, to make
sure the right volunteer is matched with each charity
client, and to support them as they work together.
“Our volunteer Heather was a great support,
knowledgeable and friendly. She was able
to help us frame challenges and opportunities
and think objectives through from a range
of perspectives. We have a clearer way
forward thanks to her support and insight.”
