🌟 Volunteers’ Week 2026 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible people who give their time, energy and kindness to support our community ❤️

From befriending visits and community events to helping in our café, gardens and groups, our volunteers make a real difference every single day. Their compassion, dedication and support help us reach so many people across our community.

Throughout the week we’ll be shining a spotlight on some of our amazing volunteers, sharing their stories and saying a huge THANK YOU for everything they do 👏

Happy Volunteers’ Week 2026 to all our fantastic volunteers - we simply couldn’t do it without you! 🌟

🌅 The Shout Network Blackburn Team are joining us! 👟

We’re thrilled to share that the team from the Blackburn Shout Network group are getting involved in our Sunrise to Sunset Walking Challenge on Friday 19th June 💪

They’ll be swapping the usual comforts of the Dunkenhalgh Hotel for the running track at Wilson Playing Fields & Sports Village — joining our Netwalking session from 8am–10am, combining networking, walking, and community spirit.

It’s all in support of Community Solutions North West and Accrington Stanley Community Trust, helping raise funds and awareness for the vital work both charities do across our local communities.

Amazing support from the business community — and a brilliant example of networking with purpose! 🌟
