Charity appoints new volunteering team lead

Specialist child exploitation charity Safe and Sound has appointed a new team lead to support and grow the organisation’s group of volunteers.

Rach Bricknell joins from a children’s charity where she both volunteered her time and worked on fundraising and events, having previously set up her own candle-making business and worked in a variety of accounting, business administration and retail roles.

At Safe and Sound, she will support the current volunteering team who carry out vital work across the organisation, from outreach sessions and youth activities to administrative and ambassadorial roles.

Tracy Harrison, chief executive at Safe and Sound, said: “Rach’s experience in the charity sector – both as a paid officer and a volunteer – as well as her entrepreneurial flair in running her own business will be a great asset to the charity.

“Volunteers are the backbone to organisations such as Safe and Sound and this appointment steps up the support and development to the wide range of people from all walks of life who give their time to help us in work with children, young people and families across Derbyshire whose lives have been affected by child exploitation.”
