FestiVol | Wirral CVS

FestiVol was our 2026 volunteer celebration event that took place on 28th February at The Hive Youth Zone. Co-developed with volunteer managers across the Wirral, FestiVol turned a unique and ambitious idea of having the Wirral's biggest celebration for volunteers into a reality, with plenty of music, entertainment, crafts, food and family fun for all 600+ attendees! Below are more of the details about FestiVol
