We have a fantastic team of over 120 volunteers who help us run our programme and provide one to one support for our young people. We don’t have any paid staff so our volunteers are a crucial part of our organisation.

Volunteers take on a range of roles within the Group from our weekly team of volunteer helpers to our less regular supporters who help us with everything from grass cutting to raising funds for our adventures.

The governance of the Group is carried out by our Board of Trustees which is made up of volunteers who give their time to provide the strategic direction, oversight and scrutiny of our activities. You can find out more about them here.
