Volunteers’ Week 2015 1-7 June - Get involved now

14 May 2015 - 10:29 by michelle.foster

Thank you to everyone who got involved in celebrating the 30th anniversary of Volunteers’ Week in 2014, it was fantastic to see so many of you recognising the outstanding contribution volunteers make to Manchester. Without your involvement the week would not have been a success.

In 2015 Volunteers’ Week will again take place from the 1-7 June and we want to make it even more special for volunteers in Manchester and to increase your profile during this time, we would like to have a week full of Roadshows, hopefully replicating the success of our events in early 2015.
