worthy causes. It was established
in 1979 by David Wills, a former director of Oxfam, and John
Whitaker, a former director of the National Council for Voluntary
Organisations. They aimed to create a service that would pair skilled
professionals with charities in need of their expertise. Today, Reach
Volunteering stands as the UK's foremost skills-based volunteering
charity and the largest source of trustees for the voluntary
sector.
Charities

Volunteering. These opportunities are then shared with potential
volunteers. Upon finding a suitable match, organisations can initiate
contact via direct messaging.
