  1. While our overall number of volunteers is down on FY13, there has been an increase in the percentage of people taking part in skills-based volunteering (96% of all activity vs 87% in FY13). This represents a strategic move to ensure all of our volunteering applies the skills and capabilities of our people to maximum effect. Due to the nature of skills-based volunteering, there are less opportunities available that meet these requirements.
