Volunteers contribute more than £22bn to UK charities with around 20 million people giving up their time to help and inspire others. Ahead of Volunteers’ week on 1-7 June we’d like to celebrate the work volunteers do by getting you to share your stories about how you’ve made a difference.
Share your stories
Whether you volunteer formally for a charity or informally in your local community, we’d like to hear from you. What inspired you? Why do you think it is important? Perhaps you have a memorable experience you would like to tell us about.
Wherever you are in the world, you can share your photos, videos and stories of the work you do voluntarily by filling in the form below. Your responses will only be seen by the Guardian and we’ll feature some of your responses in our reporting. If you’re having trouble using the form, click here. You can read terms of service here.
