A developer has donated £1,500 to an organisation working to support voluntary groups across Staffordshire.

Barratt Homes handed over the money to the Staffordshire Council of Voluntary Youth Services (SCVYS).

The organisation is a partner of Staffordshire County Council and helps assist groups working with children, young people and families.

Phil Pusey, chief executive at SCVYS, said:

> “The impact of our work has seen a growth in membership from 14 founding members in 1982 to a current network of over 200 voluntary organisations. Members work with over 40,000 children and young people through more than 900 regular delivery sessions.  
>  
> “This work requires the commitment of over 9,000 volunteers, many of which are young people themselves, and almost 900 paid employees, mostly in the larger member organisations.  
>  
> “Running an organisation in your spare time can be time consuming. SCVYS is there to make this a bit easier so that volunteers and staff members can focus more of their time on the direct support of local children, young people and families.”
