Volunteers’ Week is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, taking place from 3 – 9 June 2024. Held annually to celebrate, recognise, and thank those who have made a difference through volunteering, the week-long celebration aims to showcase these positive actions and inspire future volunteers. Established in 1984, Volunteers’ Week celebrates the contributions volunteers make to communities across the UK, the voluntary sector, and society. 

To mark the occasion, we’re encouraging our business community to get involved with local volunteering opportunities this June through our partnership with Neighbourly. We’re passionate about providing our business community with opportunities to give back to the local community and make a positive impact in Bristol.

Together with Neighbourly, we’re offering exclusive opportunities to Redcliffe & Temple BID businesses to contribute to local community initiatives. To get involved, log in to your account, apply using the links below, and use the volunteering code RTBID to get started. If you’re not already signed up to Neighbourly, you can learn more and sign up here.

FANCY SOMETHING ELSE?

If you want to get involved in other volunteering opportunities, you can get in touch directly with a good cause on Neighbourly and register your interest. Simply browse the available opportunities and click ‘register interest’ to arrange a volunteering session for you and your team. The good cause will then add this to the Neighbourly site as a volunteering opportunity, allowing you to sign up where you can use the code RTBID to get started.

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES LATER THIS YEAR

A LOOK BACK ON BUSINESS OUTREACH 

In March, we held a Corporate Volunteering Lunch and Learn session at HMRC Bristol with Neighbourly and West of England charity, Ablaze Bristol. The session covered the benefits of corporate volunteering and how Redcliffe & Temple BID businesses can get involved through the Neighbourly platform.

The session was attended by CSR managers, HR team members, and those interested in volunteering from the Redcliffe & Temple BID business community.
