In partnership with the Northamptonshire VCSE Assembly Ltd and the Northamptonshire Lord Lieutenancy, we have launched a new campaign to support volunteer recruitment across the county’s charitable and professional sector.

The initiative comes in response to an urgent need, as many local charities face a growing crisis in recruiting and retaining volunteers. The campaign is supported by the powerful short film featured above, produced by local resident Wojciech Bajos, that aims to inspire local professionals and residents to step forward and lend their skills and time. Local charities are encouraged to use the video as a free resource to aid their own volunteer recruitment efforts.

The film encourages professionals across Northamptonshire to consider how their skills in everything from finance to marketing, governance to hands-on support could transform a local cause.

If you'd like to volunteer, contact Vivien Jean-Paul: lieutenancyvolunteeringnorthants@outlook.com

Rachel McGrath, CEO of Northamptonshire Community Foundation, said:

“Our brilliant local charities are the beating heart of our communities, but many are struggling to keep vital services going due to a shortage of volunteers. This campaign is a call to action: we need people from all walks of life, especially professionals, to step up and share their time, energy and expertise. Even a small commitment can make a big difference.”
