Great moment earlier this week to see one of our member groups on news to talk about this and in recognition of which ends on the 14th. We're always amazed by the green spaces being preserved in and around the city - many thanks to all involved. It's never been more important to look after our surroundings and know that anyone can get involved to help!

Last week, we had the pleasure of joining the Careers Fair at Woodlands High School, speaking to more young people about volunteering and the benefits it can bring personally and professionally. Thank you to all the organisers and everyone who dropped by for a chat. It was also a great occasion as we bumped into one of our members Innovate Trust! 😄

What a Volunteers' Week it has been!

We had an absolutely fantastic time joining for their celebrations as they awarded and thanked volunteers for their amazing contributions over the last year. We enjoyed chatting with volunteers and trustees including one lady who has been volunteering with them since retirement.

Thank you for having us as part of your special day, and many congratulations to all involved. 👏
