Volunteers’ Week – thanking our volunteers   

2 June 2025

A huge thank you to all our incredible volunteers as we celebrate you this Volunteers’ Week (2 – 8 June 2025).

Our inspirational volunteers  

From our Peer Support Volunteers who provide vital support for people in our community by talking, listening, and sharing their experiences. Our community volunteers who raise funds in their local community, taking part in fun and rewarding activities. And our Lay Research Panel, made up entirely of people affected by muscle wasting or weakening conditions, who work closely with our research team to evaluate our grant applications. 

We believe in the power of our community and have volunteers from across the UK helping us to make a difference.   

“I volunteer for Muscular Dystrophy UK because I want to do something to raise awareness and help raise money for this worthy cause to fund groundbreaking research and provide support.”

Thank you  

Calley Clay, our Volunteer Engagement Manage, said: “Volunteers’ Week is a great chance to celebrate all our incredible volunteers within the muscle wasting and weakening community, who dedicate their time to help make a difference.  

“We wouldn’t be able to do the work we do to fund groundbreaking research and life-changing support without their valuable and generous contributions. A huge thank you to all of our volunteers for supporting us.” 

Get involved  

We’re always looking for new volunteers and there’s so many ways you can get involved. We’ll provide all the support, training, and guidance you need.
