National Volunteer Week is an annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. In 2024 National Volunteer Week will be held from 20-26 May. The theme in 2024 is ‘Something for Everyone’.
The week-long event recognises the vital support that the millions of volunteers in our country provide to their communities and encourages people to consider volunteering. National Volunteer Week 2024 is a celebration of the diverse passions and talents everyone brings to volunteering. This year’s National Volunteer Week theme ‘Something for Everyone’ highlights that there’s a place for everyone in the world of volunteering.
