On Saturday we collaborated with @SlaterGordonUK to host the @backuptrust Southern Region volunteering thank you event at Deka Chambers. Back Up shared their future strategy plans and the volunteers came together to share their experiences. Combined, those attending had 153 years' experience of volunteering for Back Up, so there was a lot to discuss!

Hannah Can‼️ Watch the full interview on YouTube - youtu.be/kF8y6bxPOEI?si=x-6J… Hannah plays WR5s and officiates for the Paralympic discipline of wheelchair rugby. #ICanPlay #ICanPlayWheelchairRugby Join the Wheelchair Rugby Family #volunteeringisfun #nationalvolunteerweek   Join GBWR as we help celebrate 40 years of Volunteers’ Week and look to inspire more people to make a difference in wheelchair rugby.   I CAN PLAY.

As well as helping others, volunteering has been shown to improve volunteers’ wellbeing too. It’s human nature to feel good after helping someone out. Volunteering can also help you gain valuable new skills and experiences and boost your confidence.   ·       An estimated 14.2m people in the UK volunteered through a group, club or organisation in 2021/22. ·       Almost one in five (16%) people report volunteering at least once a month (about 8.3m people in the UK). ·       More than half of the UK population gets involved in informal volunteering – but this is less visible. Informal volunteering can involve things like going shopping, providing childcare or doing housework for free for someone who is not a relative or a friend.   Volunteering is fun!   #WheelchairRugby #GBWR   #volunteer #volunteers #nvw #nonprofit #charity  #help #volunteering #volunteerappreciation #volounteers   #volounteering #volounteerwork #becomevolunteer #thankyou #volunteerstory #volounteer # #volunteerweek #kindness #volunteerappreciationweek   @volunteers_week @officialsportengland @volunteering_uk @reachoutuk @sportandrecalliance @careersinsportuk @activellr @backuptrust @wheelpower_official @dsw_news #sportwales

Looking forward to my visit to @Woodley_Primary in the morning. Going to have a great day. 50 books ordered so far and probably a few more tomorrow. Just hope I don’t get too wet in the rain between the house and the Grandadmobile!
