Scouts, along with Sea Cadets, Girlguiding, and St John Ambulance, is calling on the UK government to give all employees 35 hours of paid volunteer leave each year!
We’ve sent a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer to explain why this is so important. This change would make it easier to:
• Support local charities, youth groups, and community projects
• Volunteer during lunch breaks, work hours, or special events
• Give back to great causes—without losing pay!
With 35 hours of paid volunteer leave, more people can step up and make a difference in their communities.
We’ve also launched a petition so you can have your say! Sign now and show your support. https://bit.ly/3ETxxJq .
