Volunteers' Week

Volunteers’ Week takes place from Monday 7 to Sunday 13 June 2027, the UK’s annual celebration of the people who give their time to their communities.

When is Volunteers’ Week?

Volunteers’ Week takes place in June (June 7-13). From 2027 the week begins on the first Monday of June rather than on 1 June. It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause: see the full calendar.

Why Volunteers’ Week matters

Volunteers keep charities, schools, sports clubs and community groups going. The week is a chance for organisations to thank them properly and for more people to find a role that suits them. Explore community support volunteering.

How to get involved in Volunteers’ Week

There are three simple ways to make Volunteers’ Week count:

• Volunteer: try a new role near you, or bring a friend along to the volunteering you already do. Browse opportunities.
• Fundraise: raise money for a volunteer-led charity or community group.
• Raise awareness: thank the volunteers around you and share what their time makes possible, using #VolunteersWeek.
