Every day, thousands of people across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole make a huge difference by volunteering. Their selfless acts are inspiring and invaluable to our community. We want to recognize these exceptional people and local businesses that go above and beyond.
They don’t do what they do for awards, but we think it’s important to shine a light on amazing people doing amazing things. Nominations are now open for the CAN Voluntary Service Awards on 27th March 2025 at The Lighthouse, Poole.
Let’s celebrate their incredible contributions and encourage others to step up and help their community.
