I don’t want to brag but….we are really, really great! And there are numbers to prove it.
Each year, one of our more organised members keeps a record of the hours volunteered by each group member and the group as a whole. Our group year finished at the end of August. I am sure there is a spreadsheet involved and lots of number crunching that I barely understand, so I’ll just give you the facts:
- total volunteer hours for the group – 3,343.25
- 69 people volunteered with the group
- there were 67 workdays at 15 different National Trust sites
I think these statistics are amazing. We are a part-time group yet we contributed the equivalent of over 80 weeks full-time work.
Where did we spend our time? The top 3 sites measured by hours worked are as follows:
- Dudmaston
- Morville
- Attingham
I love statistics, but there is one vital stat missing – how many slices of cake were eaten during the year?!
