At Sheppey Matters, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. They bring energy, passion, and kindness to our work, making a real difference in our community. Volunteering isn’t just about giving – it’s about growing, connecting, and finding purpose.
Celebrating Our Volunteers
During Volunteers’ Week, we celebrated the incredible contributions of our team with a week full of workshops, activities, and opportunities to connect -just for them. From hands-on tech sessions and CV-building workshops to discussions on equality, our volunteers enjoyed learning, sharing, and growing together. Coffee mornings, lively socials, and friendly games of table tennis and darts rounded off the week, creating laughter, fun, and memories to cherish.
The Power of Giving Time – Volunteering brings so many benefits, both to the community and to the volunteers themselves:
We build connections – make friends, feel part of a community, and create lasting bonds.
We grow personally – gain confidence, develop new skills, and explore our potential.
We get a boost to our wellbeing– feeling valued, purposeful, and happier through helping others.
Some of us enhance our careers –we gain experience, references, and networks for our professional journeys.
