National Volunteers Week (June 1st-June 7th, every year) was a tremendous success, and here at Volunteering Kingston, we are constantly reminded of the invaluable contributions of volunteers. We believe in spreading this celebratory spirit to all organizations engaging with their communities.
That’s why we’re thrilled to extend a warm invitation to the upcoming Discover Volunteering in Kingston event, set to take place on Thursday, July 20th, at the vibrant All Saints Church in Kingston, from 6pm to 8pm.
The Discover Volunteering in Kingston event, inspired by the previous year’s Big Thank You gathering, is designed for everyone eager to explore local volunteering opportunities and express gratitude to those already making a difference. This event is a collaborative effort with partners like The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Kingston Hospital, Kingston University, Kingston Voluntary Action, The Kingston Pound Project, and many others, all contributing to its planning. With such fantastic support, we hope to welcome a remarkable number of residents to join in on the festivities.
What can you expect at the event? It will be an exciting multi-layered affair, including:
- A Volunteer Fair, showcasing selected volunteering-involving projects
- Networking over tea
- Heartwarming entertainment, with singing performances
- An inspiring sewing corner exhibition run by refugees
- A unique volunteering exchange tree
- A keynote speech by the esteemed Leader of Kingston Council, Cllr Kirsch
- Plus, we’re still working on other fantastic surprises!
The best part? This event is entirely free to attend! We can’t wait to see you there!
