Volunteers Week 2023

This week (1-7 June) is Volunteers Week, a national opportunity to recognise the incredible contribution volunteers make across our communities and to say thank you.
We would like to take this opportunity to recognise the fantastic contribution our incredible volunteers make.
From observations and conversations our volunteers have gathered feedback and insight that have helped to shape the services in and across East Sussex.
Just some of our volunteer activity includes;
- Capturing peoples lived experiences
- Delivering campaigns and activity
- Conducting observational visits to services across the county
- Mystery shopping
- Holding focus groups
- Sharing information at events and meetings
- Promoting and sharing surveys
This activity helps ensure we raise the profile of issues that matter when it comes to improving the services in your community.
