Nearly two thirds of businesses say they offer volunteering days, yet 140 million hours went unused in the last 12 months, as many struggle to find the right opportunities. Backed by the players of @PostcodeLottery, @RoyalVolService is on a mission to tackle that.
What if the impossible became possible 🌟 and we unlocked millions more volunteering hours every month? Our new Volunteering Marketplace – helping businesses boost their social impact and make volunteering easier than ever. Read more: royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk… #VolunteersWeek

It was wonderful to meet Catherine. So grateful she was able to be one of our #moderngiants
A fantastic day at @IntBCC's #WomenInWar event for the unveiling of their new exhibition. Our CEO, Catherine Johnstone CBE , had the honour of standing beside the silhouette of our founder, Lady Stella Reading - look at these striking shadows! A powerful tribute to wartime women.
