The Volunteer Centre Welwyn Hatfield and the Welwyn Hatfield Community and Voluntary Services marks Volunteers’ Week 2023
2023 marks the 39th year of Volunteers’ Week (1-7 June), when the Volunteer Centre Welwyn Hatfield and the Welwyn Hatfield Community and Voluntary Services will join thousands of charities and voluntary organisations recognising the contribution volunteers make across the UK. With this year’s theme of ‘Celebrate and Inspire’ we hope to encourage people to be the change that we want to see and get involved in volunteering in whatever way works for them.
The contribution of volunteers is often unseen and unrecognised by many, visible only through the incredible impact of their volunteering, so taking the time during Volunteers’ Week to celebrate their efforts and all they contribute to our local communities, the voluntary sector and society as a whole has never been more important.
This Volunteers’ Week Volunteer Centre Welwyn Hatfield and the Welwyn Hatfield Community and Voluntary Services will be celebrating their volunteers, at our annual Volunteers Thank You Event. Throughout the week some of our volunteers have kindly shared a stories of their experience which we hope will inspire others to start their journey. Keep an eye on our News.
