Volunteers Week - a Time to Say Thanks - 1-7 June

In celebration of National Volunteers’ Week, 1-7 June, Kirklees Council are supporting Third Sector Leaders (TSL) Kirklees to mark the role volunteers played locally in supporting their local communities during the Covid-19 pandemic.

What’s happening?
TSL Kirklees are hosting an online photographic exhibition that will eventually become part of the council’s Museums & Galleries collection. The launch of the exhibition coincides with National Volunteers’ Week, and brings together images and stories of individuals who gave their time to help others during the past 12 months.

The exhibition is available online throughout Volunteers’ Week, 1- 6 June, at TSL Kirklees
