Volunteers’ Week is a special week earmarked to thank volunteers for all that they bring to their local communities.
Celebrated every year in the first week of June, it’s a week in which the UK celebrates volunteers and says thank you for the contribution that they make. It also raises awareness about the benefits of becoming a volunteer and the diverse volunteering roles that are available.
Volunteers give their time, energy and skills to all aspects of life in Wales, including sports, the arts, education and health, to name a few. Welsh villages, towns and cities, are improved and enhanced by volunteers that live, work and play in Wales.
30% of people living in Wales reported that they volunteered in 2022-23. Volunteers have raised vital funds for voluntary organisations, through a range of fundraising activities and helped share messages of public health information across social media sites.

The interest, awareness and appreciation for volunteering continues to grow, which make this a great time to ensure your organisation is visible to prospective volunteers.
