Thank you to all our amazing volunteers

Today marks the end of National Volunteers’ Week 2017 and here at FORCE we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who gives their time to support us.

Volunteers are an essential and much valued part of our charity and your contribution is vital.

You support us in so many, here at our Support Centre, at the RD&E, in our shop and at a wide variety of fundraising events.

You help us maintain the amazing services we offer and raise the money we need to provide them.

We couldn’t do it without you.

Spark Something Good

During Volunteers’ Week we had a brilliant team from the Marks & Spencer Exe Bridges store here at the Centre as part of the company’s Spark Something Good campaign (see our gallery of pictures below).

Along with members of staff and some of our own volunteers, they spent a whole day here and did a fantastic job of tidying the gardens.

Everyone worked so hard and smartened up the gardens in time for our annual summer party for volunteers, combined this year with a celebration of FORCE’s 30th anniversary.

Volunteers’ Week celebrates the contribution made by 23 million people across the UK who give their time to make a difference in their communities.
