At Volunteering Matters, we work alongside volunteers to make a real difference on the issues that matter most to communities. Our projects respond to complex challenges and inequalities, from supporting young people leaving care to helping people with disabilities get involved in local environmental action. Across the UK, we bring people together to stay connected, healthy and active.

Delivering this work takes skill, care and sustained support. We partner with communities to create opportunities for social action and volunteering that are inclusive, impactful and built around local needs. To keep this work going and reach more people, we rely on the generosity of supporters.

Your donation helps us support thousands of volunteers each year, empowering people to overcome challenges, build confidence and create lasting change. Every contribution goes directly towards our community projects, helping more people feel connected, supported and able to thrive.

If you have any questions about your donation don’t hesitate to get in touch
