💚 National Volunteers' Week starts today 1 June, and we're joining the celebrations by saying a huge THANK YOU to all our volunteers.

From community litter picks to helping at events, so much of what happens in Shepton Mallet wouldn't be possible without people who generously give their time because they care about where they live.

A special mention goes to Amelia, who is volunteering with us as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Award, helping with litter picking across the town and making a real difference to our community. 👏
