Electric Storm Youth marks Volunteers’ Week 2025!

Volunteers’ Week returns this year after reaching its 40th anniversary last year. From 2 to 8 June 2025, Electric Storm Youth will join thousands of charities and voluntary organisations recognising the contribution volunteers make across the UK.

Running every year since 1984, the week provides a crucial opportunity to thank volunteers and recognise the value of their time, passion and skills. The campaign highlights the diversity and unity of volunteer work across the UK.

This Volunteers’ Week Electric Storm Youth will be celebrating their 26 volunteers, by taking them all out for lunch and drinks at the Beach Green Hotel in Lancing.

CEO Karen Jefford said: “We literally would not function without our amazing volunteers and Volunteers' Week is a chance to thank them properly. Our shop volunteers do a fantastic job of not just keeping the shop and its displays looking great but also ensuring the shop is a thriving part of our community. Our Youth Volunteers show up every week full of enthusiasm and ideas to support and engage our young people and our Trustees share their expertise and support and ensure we have a Board that represents our community."

Volunteers’ Week is led by the UK Volunteering Forum, a partnership between Volunteer Scotland, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) and Volunteer Now in Northern Ireland.

The UK Volunteering Forum said: “Volunteers bring a richness to organisations across the country. There is no better time to recognise the diversity of our volunteers and celebrate the diff erence that volunteering makes than during Volunteers’ Week. Without volunteers many charities just simply could not function, with so many people giving up their time and going above and beyond. The week is a chance for all of us to show just how vital they are to charities and communities everywhere.”
