A report published by Works4you highlighted the significant contributions of its charitable sector in Croydon. With 803 charities and 4,738 trustees, the monetary value of trustees alone reached an impressive £161 million.

Additionally, Croydon's total value of all volunteering efforts was estimated at a staggering £1.4 billion. These statistics, sourced from Dominic Pinkney, underscore the immense impact of trustees and volunteers in the community. The full report is available on the Works4U website as of October 2023 for a detailed analysis.
