Volunteers' Week 2011

Volunteers' Week is a national celebration of volunteers and volunteering which takes place from 1 – 7 June of each year.

Volunteers' Week plays a huge part in raising the profile of the millions of volunteers who regularly contribute to the community, while inspiring others to get involved too.

During Volunteers’ Week there were a number of activities and events across the country, including a number of events throughout Pembrokeshire.

Volunteer Celebration Event and Pembrokeshire Volunteering Awards 2011 Ceremony

This is the main event of National Volunteers Week was the celebration event held at the Pavilion at Withybush. The event gave volunteers an opportunity to browse stalls, have a complementary treatment, make a pop corn bird feeder and  meet other volunteers from around Pembrokeshire.
