Volunteering

We actively welcome volunteers to join us - there are lots of opportunities. Our trustees are all volunteers from our membership, as are our Working Party, Regional Group and Devolved Administration convenors. We also have student volunteers who help in a number of ways, including supporting the work of our Working Parties and acting as advisors to Council.
