Take some time this month to consider how you can support your community during International Volunteer Day, held on 5 December 2025. This year’s theme – “Every contribution matters” – celebrates the power of collective action.

International Volunteer Day recognises individuals around the world who share their time, skills, and energy. The broking industry has traditionally been active in volunteering and community support. Brokers often contribute through charity programs, fundraising events, and local initiatives, helping make a tangible difference in the communities they serve.

Industry-led charity initiatives raised significant funds for organisations supporting health, housing, and social inclusion. Many brokers also dedicate personal time to mentoring, outreach, and professional development programs that benefit their local areas.

By getting involved, brokers can help amplify the impact of volunteering, foster stronger community connections, and demonstrate the broader social contribution of the industry, proving that every effort – no matter the size – truly matters.\
