The Staffordshire Commissioner’s Office is celebrating the amazing contribution volunteers make to our lives every day as part of National Volunteers’ Week 2020.
Deputy Commissioner Sue Arnold, who leads in this area for the Commissioner Matthew Ellis, is keen to celebrate the work of volunteers, who work closely with the office as well as supporting the police and fire and rescue service.
These include Independent Custody Visitors, Safer Neighbourhood Panel members, the Staffordshire Youth Commission, the Staffordshire Police Cadets and their leaders, Specials, Dog Welfare Visitors, Appropriate Adults and Police Support Volunteers, who all play a key part in making Staffordshire safe.
National Volunteers’ Week takes place 1 – 7 June every year and is an opportunity to celebrate the contribution millions of volunteers make across the UK. Volunteering not only helps people to build their own skills and confidence, but helps to build safer communities for everyone.
Staffordshire Deputy Commissioner for Police, Fire and Rescue and Crime, Sue Arnold, said: ‘It’s more important than ever before for us to recognise the support volunteers across the UK provide.
‘The volunteers we have in Staffordshire have always played a pivotal role in the work of the office, but during the coronavirus pandemic they have truly gone above and beyond to support their colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.
‘These are challenging times for everyone, and their roles in supporting our communities and helping to keep us all safe has never been more important.
‘I want to say a big thank you to all our volunteers for their continued commitment, compassion and the personal sacrifices they are making every day. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of them and hugely grateful for the very many hours they put in to support our office.’
