Volunteering Matters
Volunteering Matters is a nationwide charity that exists to create stronger communities through the power of volunteering. We believe volunteering is an act of optimism. A quiet rebellion against the idea that one person can’t make a difference. We operate a wide range of volunteering projects and services across the UK which aim to tackle social isolation and loneliness, improve health and wellbeing, break down barriers and foster inclusion.
