1 – 7 June is Volunteers Week 2015. Volunteers week is a great opportunity to celebrate and recognise the important role local volunteers make in our communities and challenge people to take part and volunteer.

Volunteers week is an opportunity to celebrate and say a big thank you to our volunteers in Kent and Medway. Just imagine a life without volunteers there would be no life-boats, Samaritans or hospices, Magistrates, school governors, sports coaches, Guide and Scout leaders, National Trust wardens. There would be no campaigning, no advocacy, no food-banks, no credit unions, and no citizen advice bureau. In short, our communities would grind to a halt. So its time to say a big thank you for volunteers!

Volunteering is a great way to Give which is one of the Six Ways to Wellbeing.
