Volunteers’ Week 1-7 June 2021
Volunteers’ Week 2021 is almost here and it’s all about saying ‘Thank You’ to volunteers who have given their time and energy throughout the last year.
An amazing amount of CLD volunteers have contributed to and supported their communities and we’d like to highlight some of the fabulous work they’ve done. If you know a volunteer you’d like to showcase, please email contact@cldstandardscouncil.org.uk so we can do a CLD Volunteer Practitioner Spotlight feature on our website.
We’re also keen to promote any events, activities or resources during the week and have created a map Padlet where you can ‘pin’ what’s happening in your own areas. You can add photos, links or even sound/video clips. Click on Padlet to add yours and we’ll create a CLD Volunteer Virtual Wave!
Visit the Volunteers’ Week website for more information.
