✋ Volunteers’ Week 2026 ✋
🤩This week, we’re celebrating the incredible people who give their time, energy, and passion to make a difference to the Manchester Deaf Community.
🤝 Our volunteers support a wide range of activities at MDC: from youth events and jobs fairs to BSL translation, reception cover, wellbeing walks, health workshops, and more. They make a real impact every day.
Highlights this year include:
⭐Welcoming volunteers Kim and Maham into our Services team as staff members, showing how volunteering builds the skills and confidence needed to thrive in a specialised work environment.
⭐ Supporting student placement Beth, who showed an inspiring transformation by developing confidence, workplace skills, and communication. It’s been fantastic to see her continue volunteering and staying connected.
⭐ Volunteer fundraisers Lisa, Michelle and Anna raised £3,000 through running and hiking challenges this year. Incredible! We’d love to see more fundraising initiatives like this.
🙌 Thank you to all our amazing volunteers—you make everything we do possible.
📌 We currently have a healthy waiting list and are not accepting new volunteer applications at this time. Thank you for the continued interest and support.
