🌍 Part of the Month of Community
Volunteers’ Week sits within the wider Month of Community, celebrating the many ways people support one another whether that’s:
- Coordinating a Neighbourhood Watch
- Caring for a loved one
- Litter picking and improving local spaces
- Supporting neighbours with day-to-day activities
Together, these acts help build stronger, safer, and more connected communities.
