Get more involved
"The difference between BTCV and many organisations is that with BTCV you can end up being in charge!"
When you volunteer with BTCV you can choose to become more involved than just turning up at the work site.
You can be involved in:
- organising projects
- leading projects
- developing how we run projects
- supporting and promoting the organisation

The Board of Trustees govern BTCV by setting policy and guiding the organisation. The Chief Executive works with the Chairman and Board to ensure operational commitments deliver the charity's strategic approach. Read more about the Board and roles of the Trustees in the Governance section.
These are people who by their position can help to communicate BTCV's message, through advocacy, influence and raising the profile.
