![]() I wanted to ensure that all those who had been volunteering across our communities were able to profile not just what they do, but the fact that they need volunteers to thrive. Cumbria is a large county and there is a lot going on across the 3rd Sector. I offered to volunteer my Digital Video skills to Cumbria CVS to create a Volunteering in Cumbria video as it was a great creative way to record what happened during Covid-19, but also to ensure volunteers are thanked. “During the Pandemic I was really keen to help out in any way – after volunteering with our Church and with the British Red Cross - I thought about wider networks and what could really benefit and where I could use my skills. The new video has been created by a Cumbria CVS Digital Volunteer, Jonny Gios from Kendal who says: Through sharing their stories, the aim is to inspire more people to come forward and volunteer. The celebration of the work of volunteers also shows how resilient Cumbrian communities have been during the pandemic and beyond. ![]() The charity hopes that as many people as possible watch the video, and share it on social media with friends, family, and their networks. Volunteers have been praised for their valuable contribution to our community with their actions described as ‘vital’ with community leaders expressing they ‘can’t say thank you enough.’ The video says thank you to them, but also highlights that many charities and organisations still need more people to come forward and donate their time and skills. To showcase and celebrate their achievements, Cumbria CVS launched the video via their social media channels, featuring the stories of volunteers who have made a huge difference during the pandemic. Since then, organisations, partners, and volunteers from across Cumbria have come together to respond to the challenges of the pandemic and support local communities. The new ‘Volunteering in Cumbria’ video is being shared on the second anniversary of the formal declaration of a major incident in the county. A video highlighting the vital work of volunteers in Cumbria during covid has been launched today.
