Celebrating our Volunteering Staff

Thursday 5 December is International Volunteer Day.  A day to raise awareness of and to gain an understanding of how people used their skills and knowledge within their communities on a voluntary basis.

Bridget Batty, Communications Manager for the firm said, “Volunteers Day is a unique chance to celebrate those who freely give of their spare time to work in the community.  Many groups, organisations and charities wouldn’t survive without the time and the expertise people offer. Volunteers Day gives volunteers, such as our own staff,  the chance to celebrate their efforts, share their values and promote the work they do in their own communities and also to be recognised for the hours they give.”
