WORCESTERSHIRE residents are being encouraged to make a difference in their communities by exploring Love Volunteering, the county’s free, easy-to-use platform connecting people with rewarding local opportunities.
Volunteers’ Week, running from June 1 to 7, and the council say it is the perfect time to recognise the vital contribution volunteers make and inspire more people to get involved.
Love Volunteering brings together a wide range of roles across Worcestershire, making it simple for residents to take part during the week and beyond.
From supporting NHS and council services to becoming a trustee or governor, joining a committee, or helping local charities and community groups, there are opportunities for everyone to play a part. Through Love Volunteering, giving your time has never been more accessible.
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community while also learning new skills and gaining valuable experience. It offers the chance to meet new people, build confidence and boost your wellbeing, while contributing to keeping Worcestershire safe, resilient and thriving.
Councillor Josh Robinson, cabinet member with responsibility for environment and communities, said: “Volunteers’ Week is an important opportunity to recognise and thank the amazing people across Worcestershire who give up their time to support others.
“We are incredibly grateful, as an administration and as a Council, for the vital contribution volunteers make in keeping our communities strong, safe and connected. Love Volunteering makes it easier than ever to find a role that suits you.
“Whether you can spare a few hours or make a longer commitment, volunteering makes a real difference to our communities and to those who take part.”
Organisations across Worcestershire are also encouraged to use the platform to promote their volunteering opportunities. Registration is free, providing a simple way to connect with people looking to get involved.
