Volunteers’ Week and Big Help Out Update

This June marks the 40th anniversary of Volunteers’ Week – a UK-wide celebration that shines a light on the incredible impact that volunteers make in our communities. 

Charities, voluntary groups, social organisations and volunteers will be coming together from Monday 3 June to Sunday 9 June to recognise and celebrate the incredible contribution volunteers make to society.

We’ve created lots of free downloadable resources to help you celebrate the 40th anniversary of Volunteers’ Week in style.  

From ‘thank you’ cards and bunting for use at your events to graphics to brighten up your social media channels, there’s lots of ways to get involved.

Say thanks to your volunteers, share their stories and show us your party photos on social media using #VolunteersWeek. 

We can’t wait to see how you mark the occasion!  

As well as a crucial opportunity to thank volunteers and recognise the value of their time, passion and skills, Volunteers’ Week also acts as a chance to inspire others to give volunteering a go. 
 
This year, festivities will culminate with The Big Help Out (7 – 9 June), aimed at encouraging even more people to become part of the volunteering community.
