Time to Change Project (2021 - 2023)
The Time to Change project run for two successful years between April 2021 and September 2023. This Surrey-wide project, led by Voluntary Support North Surrey and in collaboration with other Council of Voluntary Services (CVSs) in Surrey, aimed to increase the number of 19-25-year-olds volunteering across the county. We can confidently say that this goal was achieved through supporting voluntary organisations to build up the knowledge, skills, and confidence in recruiting and managing volunteers.
Over the course of the two years, the project worked closely with 40 core organisations and supported dozens more. These organisations benefitted from one-to-one support, skills transfer via our monthly training sessions, direct engagement and our Young Ambassador insight.
As a result, the Time to Change project helped voluntary organisations in Surrey recruit over 100 young volunteers, aged 19-25. Across the project’s core organisations, there was an 84% increase in the number of young people volunteering. You can find out more by clicking the button below to read our Impact Report.
