Exeter charity launches volunteer drive during Volunteers' Week

Volunteers’ Week is an annual campaign and this year it takes place between 1-7 June. Its aim is to celebrate the fantastic contribution millions of volunteers make each year across the UK and in 2013, the focus is on saying "Thank You".

In Devon, it is estimated around 300,000 people volunteer, joining around 20 million others across the UK who volunteer every year. It is thought that this equates to more than 100 million hours given to communities every week and it has been estimated that the economic value is worth in excess of £40 billion to the UK economy.
