Volunteers' Week

Volunteers' Week is a national campaign, promoted and co-ordinated in Northern Ireland by the Volunteer Development Agency. It is an annual celebration of volunteering which runs from 1 - 7 June each year. We work with our sister organisations in Scotland, Wales and England to ensure the Week has a national profile but lots of local interest.
