Join our Volunteer Council

Our Volunteer Council is a group of 12 volunteers who meet on a quarterly basis, over Skype, with our Volunteering and Resourcing team to share their feedback and discuss improvements they would like to make to the volunteer experience.

Membership changes after the fourth meeting (with a new group joining every October).  If you would like to find out about being a part of the Volunteer Council, please email us at [email protected] (you can do this at any time of the year).
