For Volunteers' Week 2025, we're shining a light on our partners Neighbourly and their work giving local businesses the opportunity to make a positive impact through employee volunteering
19/05/2025
The award-winning platform provides various opportunities for Redcliffe & Temple BID area businesses to truly make a difference by making the most of voluntary openings ranging from hands-on projects like gardening and building, to social and community work.
Launched in 1984, Volunteers’ Week is an annual UK-wide campaign held from the first Monday in June to celebrate and recognise the contributions of volunteers. Volunteers’ Week 2025 runs Monday 2 – Sunday 8 June.
Volunteers will help keep footpaths at Magpie Bottom Nature Reserve clear of vegetation and work to a seasonal plan for clearing overgrown areas, but also plant bulbs, hedges, trees and wildflowers. This is a wonderful opportunity to help out and give back to the local community!
All tools are provided, and tasks will be allocated. Don’t forget to wear suitable clothes.
Bristol Volksfest is almost here, and you can be part of the action while supporting an incredible cause! You can jump in by supporting Parking and Campsite Marshals (6 June), Bucket Collections (6-8 June), or Pedal Powered Scalextric (6-8 June).
And, if you volunteer for 5 hours or more, you’ll unlock FREE camping and FULL weekend festival access – don’t wait, grab this opportunity now!
