David Hart has been appointed National Co-ordinator at REACH to focus the charity’s volunteer matching service on people with disabilities.
REACH recruits managers and professionals with time to give and places them as part-time, expenses-only volunteers with voluntary organisations needing their career expertise. The service is free both to volunteers and voluntary organisations.
REACH has received a grant from the Haberdashers Trust to help extend volunteering opportunities to people with disabilities and to ensure that they can benefit equally from the charity’s matching service. As a result REACH have appointed David Hart, a a volunteer with disability, to be the National Co-ordinator of the programme.
