The first week in June is an opportunity to thank our Mountbatten volunteers for their amazing contribution and support to those we care for.
This year is no different; whilst the coronavirus may mean our usual celebrations cannot take place, we still acknowledge and thank each and every one of our volunteers for their contributions right across the past year.
However, the coronavirus has affected the way many of our volunteers support our work. Some have been self-isolating and have not been able to return to their roles, whilst others have been able to continue their roles from home and over the phone.
Here are some of their stories.
