Volunteers’ Week Monday 2nd June to Sunday 8th June 2025

The NHS is supported by around 2 million volunteers every year and most NHS organisations celebrate their contribution during National Volunteers’ Week.

Volunteers’ Week is an annual UK-wide campaign that takes place during the first week of June. It is a time to celebrate and recognise the incredible contributions made by volunteers across the country.

Launched in 1984, Volunteers’ Week has been running for over 40 years. It serves as a platform for organisations and communities to express gratitude to both current and past volunteers for their invaluable time, energy, and commitment. A Milestone Year Now in its 40th year, the campaign has undergone a rebrand to introduce a new, vibrant identity aimed at inspiring future engagement and continuing to spotlight the impact of volunteering across the UK.

The campaign showcases the diversity of volunteer work, celebrating efforts from national charities to grassroots groups. Volunteers’ Week fosters stronger connections across different communities and sectors, uniting people through a shared spirit of giving back.

This year’s celebration will take place from Monday 2nd to Sunday 8th June 2025. Whether you are a volunteer, an organisation, or someone considering getting involved, this week is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the power of volunteering.

This is not a mandatory campaign.
