Volunteering is for Life - not just for COVID.
Volunteering truly is the heartbeat of kindness and compassion and that heart is beating soundly in the UK in 2020. The proportion of people volunteering over the last 12 months has increased hugely with the COVID-19 global pandemic, with volunteers at existing Voluntary Groups and Charities, and many new local action groups offering support to people in their communities.
