Volunteers’ Week is an annual UK-wide campaign held from the first Monday in June to celebrate and recognise the contributions of volunteers.
The week is a chance to recognise, celebrate, and say thank you to the millions of people who make a difference through volunteering, whether it’s formal or informal, big or small, once a week or once a year.
In a list of volunteering opportunities shared by Mansfield CVS (Mansfield Community & Voluntary Service), there is something for everyone.
Here are 12 volunteering opportunities in the Mansfield area that are currently available.
