Every year from 1-7 June, we embrace Volunteers’ Week, a special occasion where we honour and acknowledge the incredible impact volunteering brings to our organisation.
Recently, FareShare UK conducted a survey across our regional centres and the results were overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the exceptional volunteer experience:
- 96% feel satisfied
- 88% feel valued
- 98% would recommend volunteering at FareShare to a friend
“Despite the cost-of-living crisis and other demands on all of our busy lives, it’s always incredible to see so many people coming together and selflessly giving their time to support others. Those we work with often feed back the positive impact their volunteering has on their wellbeing, their development of new skills, and their social network too.” – Lucy Danger, our CEO
Volunteers have been at the heart of EMERGE’s work for more than a quarter of a century. To mark Volunteers’ Week 2023, our CEO Lucy Danger, tells us about the importance of volunteers to our mission.
