I have worked in Volunteering Development and Management for 20 years and I’m deeply passionate about the transformative change that volunteers can deliver for clients and users. Previously with Barnardo’s and Riverside Housing, I’ve worked across a huge range of volunteering involving and volunteer led projects, including Children’s Services, Charity Retail, Community Fundraising, developing the first ‘Third Age’ internship, embedding volunteers into a national-wide digital inclusion strategy for social housing and Crisis at Christmas. I was responsible for helping NNVIA set a new direction for its members and I have volunteered with the St. Vincent de Paul Society for nearly 30 years.
