Since 2016, we have recruited three volunteers who have achieve positive outcomes volunteering with us.

In May 2016, one volunteer joined the Dyspraxia Support Group Teesside project. She got rejected for roles in marketing, due to lack of experience. We helped her with a suitable volunteering opportunity tailored to the needs of what she wants.

She was empowered to arrange a fundraising event to promote the group and help us generate funding for the group. At a local venue, a successful music event was arranged inviting local bands and artists, who kindly took part in the night. She created the flyers, recruited bands and artists, booked the venue and promoted the event through offline and online marketing tools. We achieved a great turnout and funding.
