National Volunteers Week 2025 closes today and has been 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 is why we are thrilled to support and promote the upcoming Celebrating Communities in Kingston event, set to take place on Thursday, June 26th, at the vibrant All Saints Church in Kingston, from tbc to tbc.
The Celebrating Communities in Kingston event, inspired by the previous Big Thank You gathering and Discovering Volunteering events, 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 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.
Please see the Celebrating Communities Eventbrite page for more information, and to sign up.
Volunteering in your community isn’t just for National Volunteers Week or Communities Month, it’s 27/7/365. Whether is supporting Kingston 2025 this summer or the Kingston Carnival in September, whether its planning for supporting people in crises at Xmas or contributing to the all year round battle against homelessness, the work and the need goes on. Here at Volunteering Kingston we are proud that the Kingston Volunteer Strategy launched on June 5th will help shape the future of volunteering locally but we remain fully aware it’s the volunteers and the communities of Kingston that give an they remain the ultimate hero’s.
