We have over 90 volunteers at St Wilfrid’s in the Centre, who deliver around 14,000 hours of voluntary hours each year. Our volunteers represent an annual benefit in kind wage saving of £150,000.

Without volunteers our service would look very different and we would struggle to deliver what we do on our current income.
