Quantifying volunteers' donated time

Howard Lake | 7 March 2003 | News

The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability has reported that its volunteers donated 10,400 hours to working with patients and residents in 2002.

This is equivalent to £88,400 worth of their time. This calculation was based on an estimated hourly rate of £8.50, based on the average local wage paid for skills equivalent to those needed by Royal Hospital volunteers.
