Volunteer's Week: Celebrating those who make a difference
Derby County Community Trust are focussing on the amazing contributions volunteers make in our communities.
Running from Monday 3rd June to Sunday 9th June, Volunteer's week is a chance to recognise, celebrate and thank those that support our programmes and projects and ensure the smooth running of them all.
We have many volunteers across Derby County Community Trust, who either help keep things ticking over at Community Corner, or support coaching sessions throughout the week. From Extra-time Hub to PL Kicks. From the Health team, to the Education department. Things just wouldn't be the same without our volunteers.
Every department within the Trust has been asked to put forward one particular volunteer, who has shown a real commitment and best reflects the DCCT values.
Throughout the week, this page will be updated (see below) with each department's nominee, where you can find out more about them, the work they do and why they have been put forward.
MATCH DAY TEAM: Taking PRIDE IN THEIR WORK
Throughout the 2023/24 season, out match day volunteers have ensured fans get the best experience possible at Pride Park. They have been fundamental in the success of the match day draw, which raises money for future projects and programmes, each season.
