Volunteers Week at Grace House

Here at Grace House, we celebrate Volunteers’ Week every year. We congratulate the volunteers on all the hard work and support they have given throughout the year and say “Thank You” to them. The theme this year is “Uniquely Us” and Volunteers Week is being celebrated between 3 and 9th June 2024.

Volunteers Week’ was first established in 1984, is an annual event and celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Almost one in five (16%) people report volunteering at least once a month (about 8.3m people in the UK).

Volunteering throughout the years of Grace House has changed slightly, we can proudly say we have seen a lot of the young people who have accessed our services now become volunteers. Volunteering allows individuals to flourish, gain new skills, boost their self-esteem and give back to society.

At Grace house, we are holding a themed Volunteers’ Day on the 4th June which will be ‘Grace of Thrones’, this year. We will have a games tournament with make your own pizza, and the day will be filled with lots of fun to thank our volunteers for their outstanding help.
