Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering in their communities. Join us this year to celebrate and inspire!
People volunteer for a range of causes, while volunteering in the third sector is most common. Remote volunteering (volunteering online or over the phone) is the third most common ‘place’ people volunteer in.
Remote volunteering can offer a way into recruitment for people who would find volunteering in person challenging. This could be due to time or health reasons, for example. However, digital exclusion, a lack of access to technology and low levels of digital skills or confidence can all limit people’s access to online volunteering opportunities.
CAVS’ community events throughout Volunteers’ Week
CAVS’ community events throughout Volunteers’ Week this year are supporting the ‘We are with you’ campaign. As a volunteer recruitment campaign, it is a means to raise the profile of volunteering across Carmarthenshire, whilst we champion citizen’s, communities, and charities/local groups. This is a dynamic relationship of vital parts which combine to support the whole of the county.
