Volunteers' Week - Celebrating our Volunteers

To mark last year's Volunteers’ Week, we spoke with a few of our dedicated volunteers to hear about their experiences. They shared some of their favourite memories, what volunteering means to them, and their top advice for anyone thinking of getting involved. Their stories highlight the incredible impact volunteers have—not just on our charity, but on the communities we serve.
