Celebrating Volunteering in Monmouthshire

On 7th February 2025, Monmouthshire County Council hosted an event to celebrate the impact of volunteers across the county. The event featured inspiring speakers, local volunteer groups, and a performance from the Monmouthshire Community Choir.

Between April and September 2024, 370 MonLife volunteers contributed 6,372 hours, valued at £86,219. Key figures at Monmouthshire County Council highlighted the impact that volunteers make.

“Volunteers from all aspects of life play an important role within our community. Their dedication allows us in the council to provide services and protect the most vulnerable in our community. On behalf of the council and our communities, thank you for every hour, minute and second you volunteer.”

Councillor Mary Ann Brocklesby, Leader

“Volunteers are the heartbeat of our community. From our 16 year old volunteers to the oldest at 94, each individual brings enthusiasm, energy, and a variety of skills to their activities. You only need to look at the economic value of volunteers to view their enormous contribution. Thank you to each and every one of you.”

Councillor Angela Sandles, Cabinet Member for Equalities & Engagement
