Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of the fantastic contribution millions of volunteers make across the UK – and it’s taking place from the 1-7 June 2015.

Imagine what the world would be like without volunteers. From the Staffs Live journalism team, to documentary photographers and workshop leaders at the Fantastic Finale – there will be many students and local residents volunteering to make Fringe Festival go with a swing.

We are proud to partner with 1000 Lives Community Champions Network who will be celebrating volunteers across the city on the 2nd June. Nominate someone today!

There is a University Quarter Volunteers Week Celebration in Stoke Minster on the 4th June at 1pm – all volunteers are  invited to celebrate together.

We will celebrate community arts with a Big Lunch picnic in Hanley Park with Park Live! performance on the bandstand by local people and a Photo walk led by the Photographers Collective North Staffs who are all volunteers.

The wonderful London Rd Festival on the 13th and 14th June is coordinated by a group of committed and skilful volunteers from Stoke West and Oakhill area.
