🧡 It's , and we'd like to say a big thank you to all the volunteers who support UK Men’s Sheds Association.

Our Trustees, Ambassadors, and everyone who gives their time behind the scenes to help the movement grow. Whether you're visiting Sheds, sharing your experience, supporting events, representing us in your community or helping shape what comes next, we couldn't do it without you.

Of course, we know that's only part of the story.

Across the UK, Sheds themselves are powered by volunteers. The people who manage them, open up in the morning, organise activities, look after the tools, sort the paperwork, make the tea, welcome new members and somehow keep everything running week after week.

Many Sheds are run entirely by volunteers. Others would struggle to function without them.

The thing about Shed volunteers is that they rarely make a fuss. They just get on with it.

So this Volunteers' Week, here's a huge thank you to every single one of you. The time you give, the skills you share and the welcome you offer make a real difference to people's lives.

👇 We'd love to hear about the volunteers in your Shed.

Who's the person that keeps everything ticking over? Give them a shout out in the comments and let's show them some appreciation.

Got some spare time? Come along and bash some balsam! The more people help out the more balsam we can get rid of.

🌟 WELCOME TO VOLUNTEERS' WEEK 2026! 🌟

This week is all about saying a massive, heartfelt thank you to the incredible people who keep our community moving.

We’re proud to be taking part in Volunteers’ Week 2026 – marking 42 years of saying thank you to all volunteers across the UK for everything they do for society.

Here at Brecon and District Dial-a-Ride, our volunteers are the absolute heartbeat of what we do. They are the friendly faces behind the wheel, the helping hands on board, and the reason we are always "More Than a Minibus."

Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing some wonderful stories from our team—including a very special milestone celebration later this week!

To our wonderful community: Please join us in celebrating them! Drop a ❤️ or a "thank you" in the comments below to show our volunteers some well-deserved love today. 👇

The event, hosted by PCC Dafydd Llywelyn, aims to help people of all ages across the Dyfed-Powys area to find meaningful volunteering roles within the criminal justice system.
