Volunteers Week

Volunteers Week runs 1st – 12th June 2016 (this year there are an additional five days enabling more people than ever to take part and more time to celebrate.)

Over 21 million people volunteer in the UK at least once a year and this contributes an estimated £23.9bn to the UK economy. Behind these big numbers is a big contribution. These 21 million people are a shining example of how we can all make a big difference to individuals and communities every day by improving the environment we live in and contributing to a range of other essential services and support. 

Volunteers week is a chance to celebrate volunteers achievements and is also a chance to inspire others to get involved.
