Volunteers' Week 2023

It’s #VolunteersWeek so we’re saying a big thank you to the amazing volunteers who support us.

We were delighted to catch up with our volunteers and present them with certificates to show our appreciation – we couldn’t do the work we do without them!

Our team of volunteers helps us to reach more people who need our support. In return, they benefit from valuable and rewarding work experience, training and development opportunities and mentoring and support from our staff team. Click here to meet some of our volunteers.
