“I wanted to reiterate my admiration for The Wesley Mission Corporate Volunteering Program. It should be held up as an exemplar for the NFP sector. The engagement with corporates and the value of the interaction for the volunteers is outstanding. I hope that your model can be replicated across the sector to enhance the volunteering efforts of more corporates and to create real value for the NFPs.”
