"Volunteering is the first step to making a change to your life and to others. Our volunteers' lives are changing for the better, as did mine by gaining confidence on the job through skills and training. Now I have a purpose, a direction and a career. Make that first step in to volunteering you won't regret it, I didn't"

Aaron Stringer

We want to increase the number of volunteers involved with Trent & Dove as well as the number of community programmes to engage residents in priority communities. In 2018/19 we invested 1.5% of all income into community and support programmes which were used to provide a minimum of 10 employment opportunities through apprenticeships.
