Leading The Access Project’s volunteer recruitment work, I really enjoy taking our mission and message out to new audiences.
The work the recruitment team does is often the first time that someone will come across The Access Project’s programme and the impact we demonstrate. Helping someone see themselves as part of our project, and understand that they can make a significant positive difference with one of our young people, is something I really love and find incredibly rewarding.
Harry, Head of Volunteer Recruitment
