Volunteers’ Week – 2nd June-8th June

Posted on:

Volunteers’ Week is a yearly national campaign to recognise and celebrate the contribution of volunteers. This year it is being held between Monday 2nd June and Sunday 8th June. The initiative has been running for over forty years, providing an opportunity to thank current and past volunteers.

Volunteers play a very important role in the NHS – there are some 2 million people who volunteer each year with the NHS, and most NHS organisations participate in Volunteers’ Week celebrations to show their appreciation.

Islington has a strong voluntary sector, and community organisations help to make a big difference across the borough. You can find out more about volunteering opportunities in the borough by following this link to Voluntary Action Islington,

Islington Council also has a number of resources available for you to explore volunteering opportunities in the borough. You can find out more here.
