Celebrating 40 years of Volunteers Week in 2024

This year marks 40 years of Volunteers Week when we celebrate the amazing contributions volunteers make to communities like ours across the UK.  Here at DSC, we are so grateful to our dedicated army of unsung superheroes and wanted to take a moment to share their stories, champion their efforts and say a huge thank you to each and every one of them!


Head over to our Volunteers page to right now to meet Sarah, Andy, Julia, and Colin and hear what volunteering means to them

"Darcey is going to walk for 21 minutes for 3 weeks in October to support DS Cheshire as her challenge for Down Syndrome awareness month!  Darcey isn’t one for walks, she loves coming in from school and chilling out doing creative stuff, so this may not sound a task to some, but for Darcey this is a physical and mental challenge. Please support her on this personal challenge which I know she will smash and all in a great cause."
