Council Leader has joined volunteers to celebrate and recognise their contribution to community.
Mark Flynn, leader of Dundee City Council, joined volunteers at Hilltown Community Centre to thank them for their valuable work during Volunteers’ Week.
From 2 to 8 June 2025, Dundee City Council will join thousands of charities and voluntary organisations across the country in recognising the vital role volunteers play in their communities.
The campaign highlights the diversity and unity of volunteer work across, illustrating the many ways people help others.
Each week, hundreds of adults and young people in Dundee give up their time to volunteer in their communities running food larders, managing community facilities, as sports coaches, running community gardening initiatives, through faith-based organisations, leading uniformed groups, on parent councils, fundraising and much, much more.
Council Leader Mark Flynn said: “Throughout the week the council will be hosting several events to highlight and celebrate the great work done by the volunteers who work alongside the council to deliver services across the city.
“I would like to thank everyone who volunteers across the city. Your contributions do not go unnoticed.
“Getting involved in the community is incredibly rewarding and I would encourage anyone interested to go to your local community centre to find out more about how you can get involved in volunteering.”
