Volunteers' Week 2024 is here!

40 years of social square (English)

Join us Monday 3 June – Sunday 9 June as we celebrate 40 years of Volunteers’ Week and look to inspire more people to make a difference.

Volunteers' Week celebrates the amazing contributions volunteers make to communities across the UK.

The celebration starts on the first Monday in June every year. It’s a chance to recognise, celebrate and thank the UK’s incredible volunteers for all they contribute to our local communities, the voluntary sector, and society as a whole.
