As Chair of Local Families with Bleeding Disorders, I want to take a moment during Volunteers’ Week this week to thank the incredible volunteers who keep our charity running.
LFWBD simply wouldn’t exist without the time, energy, and dedication of our volunteer team. From organising events and supporting families, to managing finances, admin, communications, and everything in between, it’s our volunteers who make it all happen.
Their work often goes unseen. Organising and attending the events we run are a very important part of what we do but so much more goes on behind the scenes that could easy go unnoticed. But this is the important work that needs to be done to ensure the charity remains on track, has a solid future and remains within the laws of the charities commission whilst also staying true to our constitution. They are also the friendly faces greeting families at our events to make sure everyone feels welcome and included.
Their commitment ensures that families living with bleeding disorders have a safe, supportive space to connect, share experiences, and enjoy themselves. We are incredibly lucky to have such a passionate, ambitious, caring and generous team.
So to each and every one of our volunteers – thank you. You bring our mission to life, and we are grateful always for everything you do. LFWBD wouldn’t be the same without you. You are truly the heart of our community. And if you would like to join our team, please do drop us a line at info@bleeding-disorders.co.uk.
