CEO Adam Dodd: Thank you to all of our volunteers

1 June 2026

Thank you to all of our volunteers!

It’s Volunteers’ Week, so I just wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you to all of you.

Quite simply, we couldn’t do what we do at Minstead Trust without you. You give your time, energy and care so generously, and it makes a real difference to people’s lives every day.

Last year alone, you donated almost 20,000 hours of your time. That is an extraordinary contribution, and one that reflects not only your generosity but your deep connection to our purpose and community.

You’re a huge part of everything we’re trying to achieve. Because of you, we can support people really well, reach more people who need us, and show what inclusive, person-centred support looks like in practice.

No matter how you’re involved, whether you’re in services, helping out at events, fundraising, or supporting behind the scenes, you bring something really important. It’s not just what you do, it’s the kindness and connection you create.

I also know many of you are fitting volunteering in around busy lives, so it means even more that you choose to spend your time with us.

So, from all of us, thank you. We’re really lucky to have you as part of the Minstead community.

Adam,

CEO Minstead Trust
