Volunteers’ Week

Every year from 1-7 June, we embrace Volunteers’ Week, a special occasion where we honour and acknowledge the incredible impact volunteering brings to our organisation.

Recently, FareShare UK conducted a survey across our regional centres and the results were overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the exceptional volunteer experience:

“Despite the cost-of-living crisis and other demands on all of our busy lives, it’s always incredible to see so many people coming together and selflessly giving their time to support others.  Those we work with often feed back the positive impact their volunteering has on their wellbeing, their development of new skills, and their social network too.”
