2021 marks the 37th year of Volunteers’ Week (1-7 June), when SDS will join thousands of charities and voluntary organisations recognising the contribution volunteers make across the UK and thanking them for all they do.
The contribution of volunteers is often unseen and unrecognised by many, visible only through the incredible impact of their volunteering. However, the coronavirus pandemic has rightly raised the profile of volunteering and more people than ever are aware of the immense contribution being made every single day.
This Volunteers’ Week SDS wishes to thank and celebrate the Branch volunteers for all their continued hard work and effort at keeping in contact with participants, athletes and coaches since this time last year in inventive ways, developing different opportunities and the support and services they provide each year. We celebrate them and look forward to their full reappearance as we return to sport.
