Behind every employee making a difference is a workplace that makes it possible. During Volunteers’ Week (1 - 7 June), we’re shining a spotlight on the role business leaders play in enabling meaningful contribution beyond the day job.

Minister for Family Justice Lord Ponsonby discusses why the MoJ is asking employers to encourage the magistrates of tomorrow and give recognition to this historic service.
