When and what we charge
Reach Volunteering’s services are free or heavily subsidised thanks to the generosity of our funders, in line with our mission to bring people together to build a fair, sustainable and thriving society.
When do we charge?
Our service is free for all volunteers and for most organisations.
It’s free to recruit skills-based volunteers*. Trustee recruitment (including governors) is free for all charities or education bodies with an income under £1m and for other eligible organisations with an income under £250k.
For organisations outside these criteria, we ask for a contribution for recruiting trustees. Our fees are modest and offer great value for money: our service is designed to help you reach a wide and diverse audience of prospective trustees.
Any organisation can choose an Enhanced option for recruiting trustees. And, for a bespoke trustee recruitment service, our TrusteeWorks team offers a professional search service, delivering excellent results at an affordable price. Find out more about TrusteeWorks.
*We may ask for a contribution from large organisations which use Reach to recruit high volumes of volunteers. If this might apply to you, contact [email protected] to find out more.
Why do we charge?
We support a wide range of organisations from tiny grassroots groups to very large charities and education bodies. To help keep our service free and accessible for the smaller organisations, we ask large organisations to make a small contribution to recruit trustees on Reach.

What do we charge?
Our charges are per opportunity, based on the service you choose, and your organisation’s size and type. We are a charity ourselves, and any income we generate goes to helping smaller organisations, who would be unable to pay, to recruit amazing skills-based volunteers and trustees.

Registered charities are often exempt from paying VAT for advertising. However as HMRC classes Reach as a service provider and not advertisers, we are unfortunately not able to remove the VAT from our invoices.
