Saturday, Mar 14, 2026 from 9:45 am to 4 pm GMT
Overview

Time to create connections, reflect, remember and to continue building the Sands Community across the North of England.

Sands Volunteers, this one’s for you!

It’s that time of year again where we invite you to the next set of Sands Community Days! We’re more excited about these days than ever before.

A day that is designed for you, based off your feedback from last year and what we’ve been hearing from you since.

The theme for this set of days is learning together. Putting you, brilliant Sands volunteers, right at the heart of the day making sure you get time to build bonds with each other and with staff.

Importantly we’re carving out time for learning and space for investing in wellbeing. Your voices and experience will guide this and we’ll be asking your for your input in advance of the day to make sure we’re focusing on the things that matter most to you.

Staff from several teams will be there on the day, including Clea Harmer, Sands CEO.

So join us for a relaxed and enjoyable day all about investing in you, so that you have what you need to continue doing all the brilliant work you do in your local communities.

This day is for all Sands volunteers, Befrienders, Sands United Team Managers, volunteers from Groups and Sands United Teams, Hospital Liaison Volunteers, Campaigners, Knitters, Parent Speakers – you are all invited, and we can’t wait to see you at a Community Day near you!


Lunch and refreshments are all included.And don't forget that we'll cover expenses for any travel and accomodation needs. If you've got any questions about this please contact us volunteering@sands.org.uk
