Celebrating Our Volunteers - Volunteer’s Week 2025
As we mark the beginning of Volunteer’s Week 2025, we want to take a moment to say a huge “thank you” to every single one of our incredible volunteers here at Guy’s Gift.
This years’ theme, #WeSeeYourPower, is all about recognition.
At Guy’s Gift aur volunteers are at the heart of everything we do – bringing compassion, time, and dedication to support bereaved children, young people, and their families across Coventry and Warwickshire.
Over the past year, your hard work has helped us achieve some truly meaningful milestones:
Welcomed 12 new volunteers through our induction days, bringing our amazing team to 22 volunteers in total.
Ran 10 sets of bereavement support groups - including in-school sessions, after-school sessions, and remote sessions - brining together children, young people and their families in similar circumstances.
Sent out 45 bereavement resource packs to primary & secondary schools across Coventry and Warwickshire.
Distributed 20 hospital support packs, offering immediate comfort and guidance to grieving families in the community.
Delivered a children’s workshop in collaboration with “Gambling with Lives” workshop in July 2024.
Reached new audiences at the Camper Calling festival in August 2024, raising awareness and support for our mission.
Held our beautiful annual Lantern Walk in December 2024, uniting families in remembrance and community.
Benefited from inspirational fundraising efforts – from the London Marathon 2025 and Birmingham Great Run 2025 to MuchLoved funeral donations.
Each of these moments is a testament to the dedication and passion of our volunteers.
Whether you're helping behind the scenes, helping to facilitate group/1:1 sessions, packing and delivering resources, or fundraising - your time and makes a lasting difference to your local community.
Our volunteers bring a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and it's this diversity that strengthens our work and deepens the connection we build with the families we support.
We are incredibly proud of what we've achieved together and excited for what’s ahead, with some new faces already joining our growing team.
If you or someone you know is interested in joining our volunteer community, we’d love to hear from you.
