Volunteer Powered iconThis charity relies heavily on the incredible dedication of volunteers. It means their operations are significantly powered by volunteer efforts, where the collective contribution of volunteers is either substantial compared to paid staff, or their work is entirely run by volunteers. Your time and skills could make a huge difference here!
