In celebration of Volunteers Week (1st-7th June), the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is shining a spotlight on the volunteers that have made the organisation what it is for the last 50 years.
During its golden anniversary year, the volunteer-led organisation is encouraging its members to take to social media to share stories of great volunteering moments from the last five decades.
Testimonies from volunteers are being shared daily on the official CAMRA social media channels, celebrating the hard work of volunteers. Volunteers are also encouraged to share their stories on the 50th Anniversary Hub.
CAMRA’s national vice-chair, Abigail Newton, said: “The success of CAMRA owes so much to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, who perform a variety of roles, from organising CAMRA festivals and putting their time in behind the bar, to helping record and create our popular Pubs. Pints. People. podcast, and devoting their evenings to committee meetings.
“Throughout the last year of change and turmoil for the world, our enthusiastic volunteers have been quick to adapt to the changing circumstances, throwing their weight behind our campaigns to support the industry and conducting CAMRA business virtually. Our volunteers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the campaign and we are looking forward to celebrating our volunteers this week and sharing their stories.”
