Specialist Volunteers for Charities

Since my first CEO role I have been struck by the range of organisations who offer specialist skills and volunteers for UK charities either free or for a small charge.  I have been lucky enough to work with some amazing companies and colleagues in this way who have contributed enormously to the charities I was working with.  So I thought I would put together this list.  

This list is indicative not exhaustive – and the links were current at the time of compilation (2022).  Do let me know of any more I can add to the list – Judith Brodie
