Volunteers’ Week is an annual event which sees charities, voluntary groups, social organisations, and volunteers themselves come together to recognise the incredible impact that volunteering has in communities around the UK.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of Volunteers’ Week, the week will launch on Monday 3 June 2024 and will run through until Sunday 9 June 2024.
Volunteering builds connections, grows skills and gives back to society. And it’s been shown to be good for the wellbeing of volunteers too.
Volunteers Week is organised by the UK Volunteering Forum, a partnership between NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations), WCVA, Volunteer Scotland and Volunteer Now.
Every year hundreds of events take place, both online and in-person, to celebrate Volunteers’ Week and the huge range of ways in which volunteers give their time. This year will be no different. A wide variety of activities will be happening across Wales and the rest of the UK, from volunteer recruitment events and open days to celebration and recognition events.
