Today is the start of #VolunteersWeek, our favourite time of the year. This week is dedicated for non-profit organisations, such as Hull CVS, to not only give thanks but also showcase what local volunteers do and the difference they make to our communities. At Hull CVS, we are privileged to be able to share the wonderful differences our volunteers make and those in the wider sector through Time2Volunteer, the dedicated volunteering platform which we deliver in partnership with The HEY Smile Foundation. Through this platform in 2023 / 24, we saw an incredible 1160 volunteers provide a total of 4439 hours to making a difference with local organisations, in areas such as Horticulture, Older People and Health. So whether you've helped by: creating a luscious sustainable environment by planting trees with PATT Foundation supporting people to be less isolated, more connected and have a more fulfilling life with Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire improving people's experiences when using local health and social care services with Healthwatch Kingston upon Hull volunteering with the many wonderful organisations which are working hard to make Hull an even better place. Thank you. To celebrate Volunteers Week, Hull CVS is inviting you to join us and other local organisations for our Volunteer Recognition Week Event at Trinity Market on Friday 7th June from 10am to 2pm, where you can speak to various organisations about volunteering opportunities and the difference you can make in your local area. We still have spaces available for any organisation interested in joining us at this event, please contact enquiries@hull-cvs.co.uk or drop us a DM to find out more. Throughout this week, we will be sharing stories from ourselves and our partners across Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire, with the tag: #VolunteersWeekHEY2024. All are welcome to use this hashtag to share their volunteers / volunteering stories. If you are new to or interested in volunteering, Hull CVS have also just launched our Volunteer Academy Programme which covers the fundamentals of what every volunteer should know, as they enter the world of volunteering.
