Volunteering England, the national development agency for volunteers, has appointed Dennis Treleaven as Grants Manager, who will start on 17 September.
Previously Dennis was a Programme Manager with the Lottery where he was responsible for managing a team of grants staff assessing and managing multiple grants programmes across England. Dennis also has a background of training with the Lottery where he trained both staff in delivering new grants programmes as well as delivered a range of training to the voluntary sector on applying for grants and the development of an ‘outcomes’ based approach to funding.

In addition, Dennis spent seven years working in a regulatory role with Social Housing landlords in Scotland.

“I believe this is an exciting time for Volunteering England and I am very much looking forward to joining the team and supporting the development of good quality volunteering projects throughout England. I hope that with my experience of the voluntary sector combined with knowledge of the latest thinking on development and delivery of grant making programmes, I will be able to make a positive contribution to the delivery of quality grant making in England.”
End.
