Celebrating 40 Years of National Volunteers’ Week

This week (3rd – 9th June) we’re celebrating 40 years of National Volunteers’ Week, and the fantastic work and time that our volunteers dedicate to us across the SWCP, from our Trustees, to our Path Reps, Coast Path Connectors, Marketing volunteers, and more! To celebrate, we talked to volunteers across our National Lottery Heritage funded Coast Path Connectors project about their role, why they volunteer for us and their favourite stretches of coastline.

Laurie is also a photographer with an eye for capturing stunning images of waves as they barrel toward the shoreline.
