Volunteers Week 2024

We just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all our amazing volunteers. The work you do for us is outstanding and without you we would not be who we are today. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

According to Volunteers Week , volunteering has also been shown to improve volunteers wellbeing too. 

It’s human nature to feel good after helping someone out. Volunteering can also help you gain valuable new skills and experiences and boost your confidence. According to the latest Community Life Survey data for 2024, around 28% of adults in the UK reported participating in formal volunteering at least once a year and 16% once a month, which translates to approximately 12.9 million people in England alone. The estimated annual value of volunteers helping UK charities is £22.6bn. The trend is similar to previous years but below pre-pandemic levels.
