“However you volunteer, formally, informally, regularly or infrequently – Volunteers Week is all about saying a huge thank you and recognising all you do. From everyone at Somerset Council, and the organisations and causes you care about,  a gigantic, Somerset-sized thank you,” said Cllr Federica Smith-Roberts, Lead Member for Communities.
