Volunteers Week

Volunteers Week is celebrated between 1st - 7th June every year in the UK. It is a week in which we can say thank you to all sorts of volunteers for the contributions that they make to their communities and to the lives of others.

It is also a great opportunity to raise awareness about the benefits of volunteering and the diverse volunteering roles that are available.

Volunteering  ...  Connects you with other people  ...  Improves both physical and mental health  ...  Makes you feel good  ...  Provides a sense of purpose  ...  Improves future employment opportunities  ... and so much more.

Interested in Volunteering??
Here are a few ideas ...
Are you currently fit and healthy and got some time on your hands? Could you offer to shop and deliver items to those in need? Would you be willing to befriend those who are lonely and isolated by becoming a telephone buddy?
