On the 2^{nd of} June 2026 VIN staff attended the Volunteer Fair at Weston Favell to mark National Volunteers Week. Around 12 charities were in attendance, and VIN staff spoke to 20 potential volunteers.

NLIVE organised the event and were running their local radio segment on all things volunteering.

Russell Rolph, the VIN CEO states:

It was nice to see so many charities in attendance, generating interest from local shoppers and potential volunteers. Many thanks to NLIVE for organising, and for Weston Favell Shopping Centre for facilitating. It’s great to mark National Volunteers Week. Volunteers are vitally important for the local voluntary sector and bless us with their skills and knowledge. I would encourage any individual to consider volunteering to make new friends, use their skills, and learn something new.
