Happy Volunteers’ Week From Racing Welfare!
This week is national Volunteers’ Week, a UK-wide campaign running from 1st – 7th June, organised by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO). The aim of the week is to champion the 20 million volunteers who give their time willingly each year, highlighting the significance of their contribution. Volunteers put £22.6bn into the UK economy every year and are vital to the work of charities and not-for-profit organisations across the country.
