Volunteers' Week | The Faces of volunteering

Volunteering can help the smallest communities – perhaps the village pond needs draining and cleaning, or the village hall could do with a lick of paint. By volunteering your time and skills to your community you can directly help and improve the lives and quality of life of your friends and neighbours.
