A message from Chief Executive, Amanda Naylor OBE

Chief Executive

This is a hugely exciting moment for Volunteering Matters. We’ve just launched our new five-year strategy, setting out how we will build stronger, fairer communities through the power of volunteering. Rooted in mutuality and community leadership, our strategy is about turning local energy into lasting national impact.

We are rebuilding after some financially challenging years, but we are immensely proud of the work we do and the difference we make every day.
Our impact is clear: volunteering transforms lives, strengthens communities and creates the conditions for a fairer society. At the heart of our strategy are clear priorities around equity, inclusion and community power, ensuring volunteering is accessible to all and also a driver of genuine social change. We know volunteering can transform lives, and we are determined to make that transformation felt in every town and city where we work.

As a trustee, you’ll be joining us at a pivotal point: a time of momentum, ambition and renewal. You will help steer a national charity through its next chapter, shaping how we grow, deepening our influence, and ensuring volunteering continues to be at the centre of a stronger civil society.
