This week, we’re celebrating the often unrecognized, amazing work of volunteers!
Volunteers’ Week is an annual event which takes place at the start of June, celebrating the contribution made by millions of volunteers across the UK.
Made With Hope is a fantastic charity to volunteer for. They always appreciate our work which makes it feel even more worthwhile, on top of the amazing knowledge that our work is helping to fight against poverty in Africa!
I am currently at university, and I love volunteering as it is a way to switch off from the stress of studying, whilst also contributing in a positive way. I find blogging to be a great way to volunteer for me as I can do it anytime and anyplace.
A recent survey showed that UK charitable organisations have doubled their supporters on through the use of social media. As a small local charity, social media is incredibly important to us to gain a wider following and raise money for our fantastic work. This is a great way to get involved with voluntary work, as many people think they would struggle to fit it in.
Volunteers Week this year is running at the same time as the BBC’s Do Something Great! season of programmes, which are a fantastic opportunity for us all to raise the profile of volunteering and celebrate volunteering in all its forms.
