Notice Title

Volunteering Audit 2024 - AWARD

Notice Description

A review of organisations delivering volunteering opportunities in the SDNP was first undertaken in 2012 with the finding that over 91,000 days of volunteering activity was occurring annually. We followed this up with surveys in 2015 and 2019. We are keen to repeat this survey and, in addition, to find out how the pandemic has impacted volunteering across the SDNP.
