Volunteers’ Week

Volunteers’ Week is a chance to say thank you for the fantastic

contribution millions of volunteers make across the UK. This year,

Volunteers’ Week is about volunteering for all – celebrating the huge

range of people who give their time in so many ways. When thanking

your volunteers this year, take a moment to remember each and every

one of them. From trustees and campaigners to carers and fundraisers,

this is a great time to think about the fantastic contribution all your

volunteers make.
