International Volunteer Day: a celebration and invitation to join us 

Today marks International Volunteer Day, a chance to recognise and celebrate the individuals who dedicate their time and energy to wider beneficial causes. Volunteers play a huge role in IWFM, from day-to-day actions to strategic initiatives, contributing immense value as we pursue our mission to enhance professionals, the sector and organisations. To all our volunteers, we express our immense thanks and gratitude for your continued engagement.
