Volunteers' week 2026

This is an annual UK-wide campaign which celebrates and recognises the contributions of volunteers. It highlights the diversity and unity of volunteer work across the UK and celebrates the spirit of volunteering that enriches communities each year.

As well as helping others, volunteering has been shown to improve volunteers’ wellbeing. It’s human nature to feel good after helping someone out. Volunteering can also help you gain valuable new skills and experiences, and boost your confidence.

We aim to build support from all members of the Thornbury and district community by showcasing volunteering opportunities and inspiring positive change.

We have volunteering opportunities to suit all levels of commitment, experience and time availability. Whatever your circumstances you could help many different causes.
