The South Derbyshire Volunteer Awards and Celebration aims to celebrate the outstanding contributions of individuals and groups who give their time, energy, and skills to support local Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations and groups. Organised annually, the awards recognise the vital role volunteers play in making South Derbyshire a better place to live and work, highlighting their dedication, compassion, and impact across a wide range of causes and organisations.
