In 2022 we introduced a Volunteer Recognition Scheme, to acknowledge the hard work undertaken by our team of volunteers to support the Trust. The charity is run mainly by volunteers with only a handful of paid staff, so it is important to recognise the vital support provided by our fantastic team.
A series of badges has been produced featuring our emblem in three different styles – bronze, silver and gold. These recognize the different levels of volunteer support. Bronze for all those who volunteer for the Trust. Followed by silver and gold badges for five or 10 years of service.
Here is a list of all our current volunteers and the badges they have been awarded.

Wearing the Badge
We encourage all our volunteers to wear their badge at key events and functions as it helps raise the profile of the Trust and the work we do. Here is a selection of photos taken recently featuring our volunteers wearing their badges.
