Volunteers’ Week 2023
Posted 1 year ago in the A big thank you, Volunteers and fundraisers, Volunteers Week categories
This week marks Volunteers’ Week and we are celebrating all of our amazing volunteers across the country!
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our charity – without them, we wouldn’t be able to transform the lives of people living with disabilities in the UK.
We’re incredibly lucky to have a community of dedicated volunteers who donate their time and talents to support us in our mission to train amazing dogs and create even more amazing partnerships.
Throughout the week we will be hosting social events to bring together our volunteers so that we can say a big thank you and show them how much we appreciate all of the hard work and dedication they give to our charity – whilst eating cake!
Thank you!
What volunteering means to our volunteers
“I have immense fun and laughter, we go to so many places and do things together and it’s also brought me lots of like-minded friends. Whether that is through raising awareness through puppy parenting, speaking to groups or fundraising, you always get a warm feeling that what you have done or said will inspire others to join our charity. ”
Katy, Dog Breeding Volunteer
“I look forward to going each week, meeting like-minded people who share the love and devotion to the charity who make this all happen. You are made to feel ‘not just a volunteer’ but I feel very involved and part of the team and thoroughly enjoy learning about caring for the dogs. I feel very lucky to be a vital link in this amazing charity.” 
Carol, volunteer Kennel Assistant
“I am often the first person visitors meet, so I have to be professional but also give a warm welcome. I hope to continue volunteering and be an ambassador spreading the word of the brilliant work the charity does.”
Carole, Reception volunteer
