Change is within reach – volunteer your skills

Many people want to make a positive difference but often underestimate how many others already do and how much difference they could make.

within reach is a new campaign led by Reach Volunteering which aims to show the real scale and impact of skills-based volunteering already happening across the UK and inspire more people to step forward and volunteer their skills.

The campaign brings together real stories from people already using their professional skills - from HR and finance to digital, communications and strategy - to support charities and causes they care about.

By making these stories visible and inspiring more people to get involved, the campaign aims to increase the impact of skills-based volunteering on charities and communities across the UK.

You can explore the stories, share your own experience or find out how to join in and volunteer your skills, here: https://reachvolunteering.org.uk/change-within-reach
