Volunteers’ Week gave us a wonderful opportunity to thank our amazing volunteers. We are always grateful for the wide range of ways they support our charity.
Some of our volunteers help pack carer hampers and TeensPLUS challenge boxes, coming into the office ready to help us provide a little respite in a box for adult and young carers. Their bubbly, enthusiastic nature always fills the office with conversation and laughter.
Others support us with computers and technical issues, making life much easier by being on hand when things go wrong. We’ve found that the offer of a cup of tea and a biscuit can bring them into the office in no time!
We also have a volunteer who shares her many years of marketing knowledge, which is a huge help to us.
To show how much we appreciate everything they do, we delivered a small cream tea in a box to each of them.
We must know our volunteers quite well by now, because there were plenty of smiling faces as we handed over the cream teas!

In 2025, we made a meaningful difference by providing the opportunity for people to get away on holidays that gave time to relax, make new friends and create lasting memories.
The chance to receive home-based support, days out and group sailing holidays made a positive impact on the people we support.
