Volunteers’ week

This week its Volunteers’ Week: A campaign to celebrate and recognise the contributions of volunteers across the UK.  Launched in 1984, this initiative has been running for over 40 years, providing organisations and communities a platform to thank current and past volunteers for their invaluable efforts.  The campaign highlights the diversity and unity of volunteer work across the UK and aims to continue to foster connections between national organisations and grassroots groups, celebrating the spirit of volunteering that enriches communities each year.  14.2 million people in the UK have formally volunteered at least once a month and volunteering added £4.6 billion in productivity gains to the UK economy in 2024.  To find out more visit https://volunteersweek.org/about.
