Awareness Week 2025
2nd - 8th June
Volunteering offers a wide range of personal and community benefits. It’s a powerful way to make a positive impact, whether you’re helping individuals, supporting a cause, or contributing to a larger mission. Volunteers gain valuable life and career skills, build meaningful relationships, and often experience increased happiness and a stronger sense of purpose. In giving their time, volunteers not only strengthen their communities but also grow as individuals—fostering empathy, resilience, and a deeper connection to the world around them
1. Give - Volunteer your time to help others. One small action can have a huge impact
2. Be active - Enhance your physical and mental health. Volunteering can be tailored to suit your own ability.
3. Connect - Meet new people and get involved with groups, organisations and causes.
4. Keep learning - Share your existing skills and learn new skills.
5. Take Notice - Look out for a neighbour and generally be aware of the world around you.
