“We understand how volunteers can help us get the right tone in our services and in our head office, but also as a wellbeing charity, we want to make sure we’re offering a rewarding experience through which people may grow personally and professionally.”
Compass recently relaunched its work with volunteers under the banner of Compass Together. A first wave of services to develop its volunteering included Compass Be, Compass GO, Compass Elevation, Safe East, Changing Lives, CYPDAS, and Connect for Health. A second wave includes Compass Phoenix Bloom and head office.
What is Volunteers Week
“Volunteers’ Week celebrates the amazing contributions volunteers make to communities across the UK.
The celebration starts on the first Monday in June every year. It’s a chance to recognise, celebrate and thank the UK’s incredible volunteers for all they contribute to our local communities, the voluntary sector, and society as a whole.” – from the Volunteers Week website
