This Volunteers’ Week, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to every single volunteer at Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation.

Your kindness, generosity, time and dedication help make a real difference to the lives of the people we support every day. Whether you’re welcoming visitors, helping at events, supporting our services, volunteering in our shops, maintaining our beautiful spaces, or simply offering a friendly smile, your contribution matters more than you may realise.

As a small token of our appreciation, we’ve put together a little thank you pack, complete with tea and biscuits, to encourage you to take a well-deserved moment for yourself and reflect on the difference you make.

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you give to our charity and community.

Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your commitment.
Thank you for making a difference.

✨ Mondays and Tuesdays available
