Volunteers Week: The Heartbeat of GO

Well, hello there, everyone! This week, from June 2nd to June 8th, is Volunteers' Week, and we just couldn't let it pass without giving the biggest, warmest shout-out to the absolute heart and soul of our charity: our truly amazing volunteers!

Here in Guernsey, we are incredibly fortunate to have such a generous and dedicated community, and our volunteers truly embody that spirit. Whether it's sorting donations, helping at events, filling our shop with great stock, or supporting us behind the scenes, every single hour given makes a tangible difference.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to each and every one of you who has dedicated your time this year! Although this picture highlights just a handful of our amazing team, we truly appreciate the invaluable contributions of all our wonderful volunteers.

That lovely picture above offers a glimpse into how our volunteers engage. From friendly faces welcoming everyone to meticulous sorting that keeps our shop great, to hands-on work that brings everything to life – your commitment inspires us daily.

Volunteers' Week is a national celebration, and it's a fantastic opportunity to recognise the invaluable contribution that volunteers make to communities across the UK and right here in the Bailiwick. We believe in the power of giving back, and our volunteers demonstrate this every single day.

To everyone who has volunteered with us this year – whether for an hour, a day, or consistently throughout the year – THANK YOU! Your dedication allows us to continue our vital work and support those who need it most in Guernsey.
