Celebrate Volunteers’ Week with us

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Volunteers’ Week. It kicks off on Monday 3 June and runs until Sunday 9 June.

Volunteers’ Week is a time for charities, voluntary groups, social organisations, and volunteers themselves to come together. And it’s a time to recognise the incredible impact that volunteering has on communities around the UK.

Celebrate with us!

We'll be doing lots to showcase the incredible impact our volunteers have on the MS community, and we'd love for you to be involved.

Celebrating on social media

We’ll be getting loud about our volunteers through our social media channels. Look out for video clips throughout the week from some of our celebrity Ambassadors, CEO, Chair of Trustees and staff, sharing why they think our volunteers are worth celebrating.

We’ll also use the week to share a TikTok video created by one of our brilliant volunteers, Group Coordinator Jo Mason, sharing her volunteering experience and the services the Sheffield and Rotherham Group offers. We hope it will help us reach a younger audience and encourage new recruits!

We’d love your support to spread these messages, so please follow us on social media and repost/share on your personal and local group accounts.

Staff event

During the week we’ll also be inviting staff to come along to an internal session to hear from two of our groups about the services they offer. And how they’re pivotal in helping our organisation reach its goal of ‘people living well with MS’.

We wish you all a Happy Volunteers’ Week!
