The scheme, which the Town Council gave 2,000, employed a Volunteer Organiser to recruit and match volunteers to organisations who needed them. In the year 2021-2022 the scheme delivered 38 volunteers, 14 of which were between the ages of 14-25. The scheme also managed to create 8 new opportunities for 14-25 year olds and delivered 8 case studies on the benefits of volunteering.

Town councillors are expected to vote to close the project at their meeting.
