At Volunteering Matters, we’re proud of the difference our volunteering projects have made across the country. From reducing social isolation to improving health and wellbeing, building leadership, and creating opportunities, our initiatives have touched countless lives and strengthened communities.
Sometimes, projects come to a natural close—whether it’s because they’ve achieved their goals, funding has ended, or priorities have shifted. While these projects may no longer be active, their legacy of positive change continues to inspire us and the communities they’ve served.
Let’s Build Something Together
Are you inspired by these stories? Do you have an idea for a project in your community? Our Partnerships Team is here to help. Whether you’re interested in launching a project that tackles loneliness, promotes health, builds leadership, or develops skills and opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
