It is National Volunteer Week.
April 20th - April 26th, 2025
National Volunteer Week is celebrated annually during the third week of April. This week long celebration is about placing a spotlight on inspiring figures whose invaluable seeds of kindness through volunteering are bettering our community.
This significant celebration which was established in 1974 provides the perfect opportunity to say thank you. It also challenges us to do better and look for ways to be active participants, joining hands to impact our local communities.
