Volunteers week at Citizens Advice Harlow

National Volunteers’ Week

At the beginning of June, we marked National Volunteers’ Week with something a little different, a heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers.

On one of the warmest days of the year so far, we gathered at the Harlow Study Centre for a unique chocolate tasting experience. Led by our Head of Advice & Operations, Beatriz Brett, we explored the world of 'bean-to-bar' chocolate, sampling ten delicious varieties from Venezuela. It was not only a fun and fascinating afternoon, but also a wonderful way to show our appreciation and to learn something new along the way!

To all our volunteers past and present – Thank You.
Your time, passion, and commitment help to change lives in Harlow every single day.

We’re so grateful for everything you do.

Going, going

Gone!
