Volunteers’ Week 2024
Volunteers’ Week is taking place between 3-9 June and is the 40th anniversary of the event, which celebrates the contributions that volunteers make to communities.
Over the week hundreds of online and in-person activities take place across the UK to mark the occasion.
NHS organisations can benefit from volunteers in different ways to support their needs.
Details of the week and how to get involved can be found on the Volunteers’ Week website.

Take a look at our case study, which explores how Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust used volunteers to support allied health professionals, offering a first step into an NHS career.
There has also been a recent change to legislation, which withdrew the requirement for volunteers to provide a full employment history, therefore a more proportionate and balanced approach can be applied by employers in the recruitment of volunteers.
