CELEBRATION!! Do you seek change? Do you have a hidden talent? Underused skill? A lingering desire to help people in your local community? You may be surprised to know you're not alone. People all around you in Cornwall feel just the same and many are doing something about it! These people are volunteers. As there is no single defining image of the 21st Century volunteer, everybody has the right to volunteer and everyone has something of value to offer to their local community. As the 25th National Volunteer Week approaches Volunteer Cornwall would like to extend a huge thank you to the thousands of volunteers that work with us to help make Cornwall a better place. Volunteer Week, which runs annually from 1st—7th of June is a national celebration in recognition of the vital role played by volunteers within their communities. These often unsung heroes come from all social backgrounds, career paths and ages but are united by the overwhelmingly positive impact they have on their local communities. With opportunities as diverse as community radio, volunteer driving and sports event stewarding, there couldn't be a better time to become a volunteer and join the others who are helping to change our county. So, on behalf of the Board and staff at Volunteer Cornwall, and the hundreds of thousands of people living in Cornwall who benefit from your actions every day, we would like to say a great big THANK YOU to each and every volunteer and wish you all a very happy Volunteers Week!
Our Volunteer Centres match people who want to volunteer with organisations that need volunteers. But if you thought that was all they do, think again! There is so much more to their work - as this A-Z of Volunteer Centres shows:
What are Health Champions? What do Health Champions do? What do I get from it? Is there any training available? Is there any financial support available? Where can I volunteer? |
Volunteer Cornwall is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. We are a Cornish organisation and have been working in the county since 1979. The Centre is responsible for all aspects of volunteering across the county and manages the Volunteer Centres throughout Cornwall together with Interlinks. |
