Helping skills-based volunteers change the world

On Reach, social purpose organisations can find the expertise they need, to expand their teams, start new projects and more. 

People want to help

Reach volunteers come from all sorts of professional backgrounds and champion many different causes - but they are connected by their desire to make the world a better place.  Last year we brought over £50 million of expertise to social purpose organisations across the UK, by connecting them with 3,586 trustees and volunteers.

“I never imagined prior to using Reach that there were so many skilled people out there. It makes complete sense, however, to utilise the skills they have professionally developed. I recommend Reach all the time.”
