Volunteering is central to the way most of our groups work; without the volunteers we could not deliver the range of quality services that we do.<\/p>\n
How many times do we forget to celebrate the support that they give us? How often do we take the time to say thank you to them for everything that they do? How often do we want to shout about the incredible things that they do but struggle to find someone to listen?<\/p>\n
Well, here is your chance! Nominations are now open for the 2015\/16 Volunteer Awards<\/strong>.
