VOLUNTEERS across the UK are being thanked for their efforts as part of a range of events to mark Volunteers’ Week 2015.

Charities, community groups and other organisations are holding events to thank their volunteers for the contribution they make during the week, which runs from June 1-7.

Events will include awards ceremonies, barbecues, roadshows and tea parties. Last year almost 500 events were held across the country.
