Volunteers

Our volunteers play a vital role in everything we do. Trusted and empowered as part of the team, they support young people as mentors – motivating, guiding and helping them reach their potential – and contribute to the day-to-day running of our Key to Life Foodbank and Key Community Bus.

Key fact

Our volunteers contribute the equivalent of 3 full-time roles - worth over £60,000 each year.
