Celebrating National Volunteers Week – thanking our amazing volunteers!

In June, we marked National Volunteers Week with a special thank you dinner to celebrate our dedicated volunteers.

Our Chief Executive, Lisa Wimborne, along with the Community Engagement Team, thanked our volunteers for the time, energy, and support they give to us. Their contributions span a wide range of roles—from befriending and leading activities within our developments, to driving tenants on ad hoc outings in the JBD minibus, organising social events, and supporting our vital fundraising efforts.

We were also proud to be joined by tenant volunteers who help deliver powerful workshops to primary and secondary schools, raising awareness about living with a physical disability or vision impairment.

A special thank you goes to our dedicated team of Trustees, whose support, expertise, and guidance continue to strengthen our work and impact.

Simone Mazin, Community Engagement Manager said “National Volunteers Week is the perfect time to recognise our volunteers’ dedication, passion, and hard work. Our volunteers all play a crucial role in helping to create the wonderful community at JBD for which we are extremely grateful”.
