Chooseday 6th May, Choose To Volunteer - National Volunteer Week is almost here!


Good Morning,


Happy Chooseday! Let’s Celebrate National Volunteer Week (19–25 May) 💛


National Volunteer Week is almost here – and it’s time to celebrate the power of giving back. This year’s theme, Connecting Communities, highlights the magic that happens when people unite for a common cause.


Whether it’s an hour sorting donations, a day wrapping gifts, or a full-blown team day out – volunteering creates lasting impact. For the community. For charities. And for you. 🎉


Volunteering fuels purpose, deepens team bonds, and boosts mental wellbeing. It builds more connected, compassionate workplaces where people genuinely feel proud to belong.

Volunteers report higher life satisfaction than non-volunteers! 💥
