Our Impact 2024

2024 was another year of record-breaking growth for Reach Volunteering. We’re proud to have enabled more volunteers and trustees than ever before to join forces with charities and groups, driving change and fostering a fairer, more sustainable society.  

2024 highlights:

  • We placed a record number of 5,452 volunteers and trustees with charities and groups – up 21% from the previous year.
  • A record-breaking 16,237 people signed up to volunteer – an increase of 16.5% on 2023.
  • We continued to support a growing number of smaller organisations and grassroots groups - 62% of organisations posting roles had an annual turnover of less than £250k, and 30% of roles posted were for organisations with no paid staff.
  • Our volunteers have diverse backgrounds and identities - 61% were under 40 and 52% identified as being from the global majority.
  • 95% of organisations surveyed said volunteers and trustees recruited through Reach were helping them be more effective.
