Saying thank you to our volunteers as we look ahead to Volunteers Week

Worcestershire County Council are marking the celebration this year by thanking those who help to make a difference in their local communities.

There are over 6,000 volunteers across all types of volunteering roles within the council, supporting a range of different services. This includes roles in; libraries, museums, archaeology, countryside, health champions and the coroners service, plus volunteers that support the council by supporting consultation and engagement activity.  

Hannah Perrott, Assistant Director for Communities at Worcestershire County Council, said: “Volunteers in Worcestershire are vital across both the statutory and voluntary sector, it is important to mark this annual national campaign to reflect on the significant contribution that volunteers make in our county.”

You can find out more about volunteering with the county council by visiting the Volunteering pages of our website.

You can find out about other volunteering opportunities across Worcestershire through a network of Volunteer Centres across the county, run by local dedicated charities supporting a range of voluntary and community activities. Further information is available through visiting the Worcestershire Community Action Network webpages.

Volunteer Week 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.
